New York – Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi in an address to the 78th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) said that the Americanization project of the world has completely failed.
“The world is transitioning into a novel international order, and the project to Americanize the world has failed,” Raisi told the General Assembly session.
“Thanks to the Islamic Revolution, the Iranian nation is proudly playing the biggest role in unmasking the imperialists in the East and the West,” he added.
Raisi condemned the desecration of the Muslim holy book of Quran in countries like Sweden.
“We firmly believe that reverence for religions should hold a prominent position on the United Nations’ agenda,” he said.
He stressed that the Islamic Republic values the security of other countries in the region.
“The Islamic Republic extends a warm welcome to any hand that is extended in friendship, firmly believing that an independent and robust neighborhood represents an opportunity for the entire region,” the Iranian president said.
He hit out at “the foreign presence” in the Persian Gulf region while referring to the thousands of US troops deployed in the area.
“Any type of foreign presence not only is not part of the solution, but it is the problem and the difficulty itself,” the Iranian president said.
He said that the unambiguous position of the Islamic Republic is to avoid supporting any war anywhere, either in Europe or in regions of the world.
