Israel, supporters ‘biggest terrorists’ in world: Iran's president
Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian says Israel and its allies are the “biggest terrorists” in the world as they are killing the innocent Palestinian and Lebanese people.
He made the remarks on Thursday at the end of his three-day visit to New York, where he attended the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly and held talks with officials from more than 15 countries.
Pezeshkian told reporters that most of his meetings focused on Israel’s ongoing aggressions against the Gaza Strip and Lebanon.
“Israel and those backing it unfairly preach about human rights and claim that they are opposed to terrorism,” he said.
“[However,] the Zionist regime and its supporters are the biggest terrorists, because they easily use their tools and power to bomb the innocent in Gaza and Lebanon, and destroy their homes. They have closed the roads and do not allow water, food and medicines to reach the people.”
During his visit to New York, Pezeshkian met with Iranians residing in the US and members of the media, and had two interviews with American media.
He also delivered a five-minute speech to the General Assembly, during which he said Israel has been defeated in its genocidal Gaza onslaught and that the occupying regime cannot “repair its myth of invincibility” through resorting to barbarism against Lebanon.
Since October 7, 2023, Israel has been waging a brutal offensive against Gaza, which has so far killed 41,495 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured 96,006 others.
Over the same period, the Tel Aviv regime has conducted aerial assaults across Lebanon in violation of the country’s sovereignty, killing 1,247 people and wounding 5,278 others.
