In a fiery response, Iran has condemned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's recent speech at the United Nations General Assembly, as well as Israel’s recent military actions in Lebanon. Iranian officials accused Netanyahu of "taking pride in his evil," criticising his aggressive rhetoric and actions as destabilising to the region. The Iranian government reiterated its support for Lebanon and called for global opposition to what it sees as Israel’s continued aggression. This diplomatic clash further escalates tensions in the Middle East, amplifying concerns over regional stability.

00:00What you heard here today from the notorious Israeli Prime Minister was nothing but an
00:07unsuccessful attempt to distract attention away from his genocide and brutal war crimes.
00:15The apartheid-occupying regime of Israel is now waging an all-out war of aggression against
00:22Lebanon.
00:24It has targeted civilians, mostly women, children, and the elderly, and attacked civilian infrastructures.
00:32Moreover, the deliberate targeting of civilians in Lebanon by detonating pagers and other
00:39electronic devices across the country was a blatant terrorist act committed by the Israeli
00:46regime.
00:47I call on the representative of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
01:01Mr. President, I take the floor to exercise the right of reply of my delegation in response
01:09to the statement made today by the representative of the Israeli regime.
01:15What you heard here today from the notorious Israeli Prime Minister was nothing but an
01:22unsuccessful attempt to distract attention away from his genocide and brutal war crimes.
01:31To date, in Gaza alone, he has brutally massacred more than 42,000 civilians, mostly women and
01:40children, wounded 93,000 or other civilians, destroyed critical civilian infrastructure,
01:51and demolished schools, hospitals, and mosques.
01:56He has even repeatedly killed an unprecedented number of journalists and United Nations staff
02:03and attacked many UN relief centers.
02:08He brutally has used starvation as a method of war.
02:13Making unfounded accusations against regional countries, including my own, has long been
02:19a standard practice of the Israeli regime.
02:23Its exclusive purpose is to conceal its blatant crimes and brutalities in the region.
02:32Obviously, no amount of disinformation, fabrication, and lies can cover up this regime's decades-long
02:41criminal practices and wicked and war-mongering policies.
02:48Mr. President, the extent, frequency, and gravity of the barbaric crimes of the Israeli
02:55regime in Palestine and now in Lebanon is unprecedented.
03:02These brutalities have all elements of genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity.
03:09The Israeli forces commit all such crimes on a daily basis, repeatedly and concurrently
03:16in front of the eyes of all humanity.
03:21They turned Gaza into a graveyard of children and hell on earth, as has been said by United
03:29Nations staff and officials.
03:33The apartheid-occupying regime of Israel is now waging an all-out war of aggression against Lebanon.
03:41It has targeted civilians, mostly women, children, and the elderly, and attacked civilian infrastructures.
03:51Moreover, the deliberate targeting of civilians in Lebanon by detonating pagers and other
03:57electronic devices across the country was a blatant terrorist act committed by the Israeli regime.
04:05This evil practice is the most outrageous manifestation of weaponizing ordinary communication
04:12devices to commit terrorist acts and to harm civilians.
04:19This adventuristic act of terrorism must sound a warning bell for the entire international community.
04:28This new version of terrorism must be condemned unequivocally by all.
04:33If unchecked, the Israeli regime will commit terrorist acts in other countries using such devices.
04:41They must therefore be compelled to stop such acts of terrorism everywhere.
04:46Mr. President, the evil regime of Israel is the exclusive source of insecurity and instability in the region and beyond.
04:56Continued aggressions and crimes of this regime in Palestine and Lebanon continue to seriously threaten regional
05:03and international peace and security.
05:06Its aggression against Lebanon could not be isolated from the overall situation in the region.
05:12The Zionist regime's real and ill-intended objective is to drag the entire region into a full-scale war.
05:21The military adventurism of this criminal regime must be stopped before it becomes too late.
05:28For this terrorist regime, international humanitarian and human rights law, binding orders of the International Court of Justice,
05:37as well as the principle of humanity, mean nothing.
05:43It has persistently and flagrantly violated all principles of the United Nations,
05:49and therefore does not deserve the membership of this organization.
05:54The atrocity, crimes, and genocide committed by this occupying apartheid regime must not go unpunished.
06:04Impunity would only continue to embolden this regime to persist in its pattern of war crimes,
06:11crimes against humanity and genocide, and to commit more crimes more brutally.
06:18The international community, the United Nations, and the Security Council must take their responsibilities seriously
06:25and do whatever in their power to stop destabilizing policies and illegal practices of the Israeli regime
06:32in the volatile region of West Asia.
06:36This regime must also be held accountable for all such inhuman policies and unlawful practices.
06:43And as our foreign minister told today before the Security Council, Netanyahu and his criminal gang
06:51must have been arrested and prosecuted for the most heinous crimes,
06:57not to let him appear before this August Wadi and take pride in his evil deeds.
07:04In action to prevent the brutalities of this rogue, aggressive regime that has already crossed all red lines,
07:11will further embolden it to pursue further crimes, this must be avoided.
07:18We once again strongly condemn and categorically reject the heinous attacks of the rogue regime of Israel
07:24against Palestine, Lebanon, and other regional countries.
07:28We also reiterate our full support for the realization of the inalienable right to self-determination of the Palestinian people.
07:38Under international law, Palestinians have an absolute right to resist occupation and aggression using all available means.
07:48We also fully support the inherent right to self-defense of all regional nations against the aggressions of the Israeli regime.
07:56As we have said time and again, the path to de-escalation is clear.
08:02Israel must be compelled to stop immediately and permanently all its attacks on Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, and other parts of the region.
08:12In response to saber-rattling and threats made today by the Israeli regime's representative,
08:19I must stress that the Islamic Republic of Iran will not hesitate to vigorously defend its territory, people, and vital interests.
08:29Obviously, and in exercising our inherent right to self-defense, we will do it in time and the manner we choose.
08:39Mr. President, the Israeli regime's representative has also made an unsuccessful attempt to falsely portray our nuclear program as a source of concern.
08:49Iran's nuclear program has always been and will remain exclusively for peaceful purposes.
08:55In fact, the real source of serious threat is the Calandestan nuclear weapon program of the Israeli regime and its nuclear weapon arsenal.
09:07To avert this dangerous threat to regional and international peace and security, the Israeli regime must be compelled to abandon its nuclear weapons,
09:18join the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty promptly and unconditionally,
09:23and place all its nuclear activities and facilities under the comprehensive safeguards of the International Atomic Energy Agency.
09:33I thank you, Mr. President.
