Iran's president 'speaks for the whole world' in denouncing pro-Israel genocidalist Donald Trump

‘Nuclear bomb in Israel, inspectors in Iran’: Pezeshkian slams glaring double standards at UNGA Wednesday, 23 September 2026 https://www.presstv.co.uk/Detail/2026/09/23/776872/Nuclear-bomb-in-Israel-inspectors-in-Iran-Pezeshkian-slams-glaring-double-standards-at-UNGA Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian delivered a critique of Western hypocrisy at the UN General Assembly, exposing the contradiction of an Israeli regime armed with nuclear weapons and granted total impunity, while Iran faces relentless inspections and sanctions. Addressing the assembly, the Iranian official emphasized that trust cannot be built merely through rhetoric, but requires a fundamental abandonment of double standards. “The atomic bomb and other weapons of mass destruction in this region are in the hands of the Israeli regime; yet inspections are demanded of Iran!” Pezeshkian stated, highlighting the absurdity of the current international order. “Israel massacred 70,000 people in Gaza, yet Iran was bombed at the negotiating table!” Israel possesses nuclear weapons, refuses to join the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), and has never permitted a single international inspector into the occupied territories in its entire history, Pezeshkian said. “Yet, it is rewarded with billions of dollars in free weapons and enjoys absolute immunity to bomb any capital it chooses.” Summarizing the tragic paradox of the current geopolitical landscape, Pezeshkian reiterated: “I repeat: the nuclear bomb is in Israel, but the inspectors are in Iran! Israel kills, but Iran is sanctioned!” ‘We are victims of terrorism’ Pezeshkian held up photographs documenting war crimes against Iran by the United States and Israel. “We are not terrorists; we are the victims of terrorism,” Pezeshkian declared, directly confronting the accusations leveled by the “delusional” US president against the Iranian nation. Pezeshkian reminded the assembly of the unprecedented crimes committed against Iran. “I come from an Iran where our Leader was assassinated without any legal justification, without any proof,” he stated, referencing the assassination of Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei on the first day of the 40-day US-Israeli war of aggression. Displaying images of the schoolchildren massacred in the US bombing of the Shajareh Tayyebeh Primary School in Minab, Pezeshkian said, “I come from an Iran where they bombed a school. You can see these children. They bombed these children and killed them, with weapons they had from America and Israel. These children had committed no sin. They had committed no crime.” He also detailed the attack on the city of Lamerd, where US forces used high-tech missiles for the first time. “Lamerd is one of Iran’s small cities. There is a sports hall there where children were exercising. America bombed it with cluster bombs that split into thousands of pieces. They martyred our scientists, our people, our women, and innocent children who had committed no sin.” ‘They struck, but we did not bow’ Pezeshkian recounted the full-scale assault launched by the US and Israeli regimes using the latest military technology. “They struck, but we did not bow our heads before them. We struck back, but we did not strike civilians,” he said, drawing a moral distinction between Iran’s defensive response and the indiscriminate bombardment of civilian infrastructure. “They attacked our schools, our hospitals, our universities, our bridges, and our infrastructure from the territories they came from and were equipped in. All of this is in violation of international law.” The president also recalled the assassination of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran on his very first day in office, noting that the Israeli regime bombs and assassinates any government, state, or region it chooses with total impunity. Addressing the ongoing genocide in Gaza, Pezeshkian condemned the staggering hypocrisy of Western powers. “In Gaza, they massacred over 80,000 innocent human beings, and hundreds of thousands more are displaced. They commit genocide with the tools at their disposal. Then they say others are terrorists and that they are the source of instability.” “Are we the source of instability? We who want to live independently and refuse to bow our heads—are we the source of instability?” “If those who assassinate, kill, and commit crimes are the agents of security and peace, while they observe none of the rules of international law, then this is the reality we face.” ‘We do not ask permission to defend our country’ Pezeshkian firmly dismissed the narrative that Iran seeks regional domination. He said Iran has not attacked any country in 200 years and has always acted purely in self-defense. “We want power to defend ourselves, not to aggress. We want energy for development, not for building bombs, destruction, or threatening society. We want to participate in security.”...
