Iran's Pezeshkian Slams UN Ineffectiveness To 'Extinguish' Regional Crisis
Barron's
The fire of war is still raging in the Palestinian Gaza Strip and Lebanese cities, and international institutions and assemblies, and at the top of it the United Nations Security Council, as drivers of international peace and security, lack the necessary efficiency to extinguish the fire of this crisis," Pezeshkian told leaders from emerging economies at a summit in Russia.
This man needs removing from the UN immediately together with those that have anything to do with any dictators. We need people with honesty and integrity to organise and lead the UN. There should have been no clapping just a call to change UN leaders and administration
UN is against Israel
Zero aid to Lebanon. Giving aid would be supporting terrorism. Hezbollah has a rich history of terrorism since 1982 and its recent involvement in Syrian civil war in support of Bashar Al Assad.
This man is the patron saint of lost causes.
Foolish man
