BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 27. Iran has consistently supported peace, justice, and friendly relations among nations in line with the principles outlined in the United Nations (UN) Charter, the spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Esmail Baghaei, said at a meeting with students in Mashhad city today, Trend reports.
Speaking at an event in Tehran dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the UN, Baghaei underscored Iran’s unwavering dedication to sticking to the UN’s playbook as a responsible player, even in the face of what he called blatant biases from the UN Security Council and certain entities over the last 80 years.
The spokesperson criticized some Western countries for using the UN platform to impose unlawful resolutions against Iran. He pointed to recent incidents, noting that the UN Security Council did not issue a simple statement condemning military airstrikes by the United States and Israel against Iran.
