Addressing the general debate at the Assembly\u2019s 79th session, Masoud Pezeshkian, who assumed office in July, also expressed readiness to engage with the partners of the stalled Iranian nuclear deal.<\/p>\n
On the situation in Gaza, he emphasized that the world has witnessed Israeli atrocities, which \u201cin eleven months has murdered in cold blood over 41,000 innocent people, mostly women and children.\u201d<\/p>\n
As Israel assassinated Iranian scientists, diplomats, and guests, Iran supported popular liberation movements of those victimized by the Israeli regime\u2019s crimes and colonialism, he continued.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have been siding with the people across the world, who have flooded the streets in outrage against Israeli atrocities; we condemn Israeli crimes against humanity,\u201d he said, urging the international community to immediately stop the violence and establish a permanent ceasefire in Gaza.<\/p>\n
He also condemned Israel\u2019s \u201cdesperate barbarism\u201d in Lebanon, warning that it must be halted \u201cbefore it engulfs the region and the world.\u201d<\/p>\n
President Pezeshkian further noted that he campaigned on a platform focused on reform, empathy, and constructive global engagement and expressed his honour in earning the trust of Iranian citizens.<\/p>\n
\u201cI aim to lay a strong foundation for my country\u2019s entry into a new era, positioning it to play an effective and constructive role in the evolving global order. My objective is to address existing obstacles and challenges while structuring my country\u2019s foreign relations in cognizance of the necessities and realities of the contemporary world.\u201d<\/p>\n
He emphasized that in today\u2019s globalized world, no country can attain security by undermining the security of others and called for a \u201cnew paradigm\u201d built on opportunities and cooperation to address global challenges.<\/p>\n
Recalling the \u201chistoric\u201d 2015 nuclear deal, he noted that Iran, under the Joint Comprehensive Programme of Action (JCPOA), had agreed to the highest level of nuclear oversight in return for the recognition of its rights and the lifting of sanctions.<\/p>\n
However, former US President Donald Trump\u2019s unilateral withdrawal from the JCPOA represented a \u201cthreat-ridden approach\u201d to politics, Mr. Pezeshkian added, stressing that unilateral sanctions targeted innocent people and weakened the Iranian economy.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are ready to engage with JCPOA participants. If JCPOA commitments are implemented fully and in good faith, dialogue on other issues can follow,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have the opportunity to transcend limitations and enter a new era, commencing with the acknowledgment of Iran’s security concerns and cooperation on mutual challenges,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Reiterating the destructive impact of sanctions, he emphasized that Iran is ready to foster meaningful economic, social, political and security partnerships with its neighbours and global partners, \u201cbased on equal footing.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe appropriate response to this message from Iran is not to impose more sanctions, but to fulfil existing obligations to remove sanctions, benefiting Iranian people and hence laying the foundations for more constructive agreements.\u201d<\/p>\nAddress by Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
