President Rohani Blasts West For Imposing Sanctions On World States

Tehran, Sept 25, IRNA – Iranian President Hassan Rohani lambasted the western powers for imposing sanctions on other nations, especially in the less-developed countries of the Third World. “We should not forget millions of Iraqis who were harmed and killed by sanctions imposed on them under the legal guise prescribed by bodies and still a considerable number of them have to suffer throughout the world,” President Rohani said, addressing the 68th Session of the United Nations General Assembly on Wednesday morning. The Iranian president underlined that these sanctions are violent and they do not have smart or non-smart or unilateral or multilateral. “These sanctions violate the inalienable human rights, including right to peace, right to development, right to access health, right to education and more importantly right to live,” President Rohani said. The Iranian president underlined that the outcome of these sanctions will be warmongering and destruction of humans. “Iran is looking for solution to problems and not creating problems,” President Rohani reiterated. President Rohani said that the flames of sanctions do not only affect the victims of sanctions, but it is also harmful for the economy and life of the people of the societies of the countries that have imposed sanctions. “Let me point to Iran’s nuclear case, as Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution (Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei) has put it admitting Iran’s natural, legal and inalienable right is the easiest way to resolve this issue. This is not a political motto, but it is based on a deep knowledge of Iran’s nuclear technology, the international conditions … and the necessity for finding common goals and interests for reaching a common understanding and common security,’ he added. The Iranian president said that in other words, Iran and other regional players should pursue two common objectives as two inseparable parts of political solution to Iran’s nuclear case. /end
