Iranian Foreign Minister Zarif criticizes the UN for taking away Iran’s voting rights while ignoring US sanctions against the country.

Foreign Minister Zarif says the pressure imposed on the Iranian nation has failed to bring the country to its knees.

The issue of human rights once again caused controversy and deep divisions at the United Nations General Assembly this week as the Assembly passed a resolution on the human rights situation in Iran on Wednesday.

US sanctions imposed on Iran by the Trump administration have led to children with cancer needlessly dying in Iran from lack of medicine; thousands of adults are also dying each month from COVID-19.

Several rounds of unilateral American sanctions have seriously hurt the economy and caused the Iranian currency to fall to unprecedented low levels, making life hard for ordinary Iranians.
