Israel Violence and Iran Initiative
Almost a decade ago, during the September 2013 United Nations General Assembly, then Iranian President Hassan Rouhani proposed that the General Assembly take steps against violence and extremism. He called on the United Nations to take an initiative which he dubbed "WAVE" standing for "World Against Violence and Extremism." A few months later, on December 18, the UN General Assembly adopted the Iranian-authored draft resolution, "A World against Violence and Violent Extremism." And one year later, in December 2014, Tehran held a 2-day WAVE conference with representatives from more than 40 countries. This conference was referred to as "the beginning of a new international coalition against extremism." But why should Tehran insist on this issue and does it have anything to do with what's unfolding in Palestine? This and more on this edition of Iran Today.
