TEHRAN – Nasser Kanaani, the spokesman for the Iranian foreign ministry, has criticized the U.S. policy toward the United Nations and the UN Security Council. 

Kanaani said the United Nations has been taken hostage by the U.S., which prioritizes the interests of the racist regime of Israel.

In a series of posts on X, Kanaani said, “The decimation of the #AlBureij camp at the heart of the #Gaza Strip in the aftermath of assaults by the Zionist regime vividly showcases the depth of the atrocities and loss of life.”

He added, “The overwhelming majority of countries, governments, and global nations are calling for an immediate cessation of hostilities and an end to the wanton and destructive assaults perpetrated by the Zionist regime against the defenseless Gazans. Notably, this plea is echoed universally, save for the American government and a select few European governments, persistently engaging in interventions under the false pretext of championing human rights.”

Kanaani continued, “It is glaringly evident that the United States, alongside a limited number of countries, has effectively taken hostage the United Nations and the Security Council, prioritizing the interests of the racist and criminal Israeli regime at the expense of international peace, security, and #human rights.”

He stated, “The culpability of the authorities within these governments is as substantial as that of the Zionist regime in the perpetration of these egregious war crimes in Gaza, necessitating their accountability.”
