New York:Iran's Ambassador and Chargé d'Affaires to the United Nations, Gholamhossein Darzi, has criticized Western members of the UN Security Council for their focus on the absence of nuclear inspectors in Iran while ignoring Israel's nuclear weapons.

According to Islamic Republic News Agency, Darzi addressed a Security Council meeting in New York, emphasizing that the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) should not be manipulated for extracting concessions or advancing geopolitical aims. He pointed out the disparity in concern, noting that Israel possesses nuclear weapons, yet the focus remains on Iran's inspections.

Darzi condemned Western countries for their silence regarding US-Israeli aggression towards Iran, which includes threats of widespread destruction, threats against civilian infrastructure, and attacks on peaceful nuclear facilities. He stressed that these actions require accountability and punishment of those responsible, questioning the Western silence on these issues.

He further described the Security Council meeting as a politically motivated effort, aimed at pressuring Iran, distorting facts, and diverting attention from the aggression against his country. Darzi attributed this to political loyalty taking precedence over accountability and justice, as he believes the Western members maintain silence because the aggressors are their allies.
