against iran despite opposition from other un members has a rouhani compared washington's treatment of iran to that of george floyd a black man who died after a police officer knelt on his neck so. all of us across the globe i experience in difficult times however my nation the resilient people of iran instead of enjoying global partnership and cooperation is grappling with the harshest sanctions in history imposed in blatant and gross violation of the charter of the you ladies and gentlemen the footage broadcast to the world concerning the treatment of an african american by the us police is reminiscent of our own experience we recognize the feet kneeling on the neck as the feet of arrogance kneeling on the neck of independence nation this. is in toronto and says rouhani was keen to convey the difficulties iran is facing. he spoke about the effects of

sanctions he actually acknowledged the effects of sanctions he said life under sanctions is tough but life is harder without independence and said that iran won't trade its domestic freedom for foreign intervention and it's something that's a dream a common theme throughout president rouhani speech but not only him but through his foreign minister devolves reef and other high ranking officials that is that iran is still committed to the way that 2015 nuclear deal he called it the greatest diplomatic achievement but said that iran doesn't deserve the treatment that it's getting he pointed to iran's peace initiatives in the region from syria dealing with turkey over the syria issue as well as opposing so damn a sense occupation of iraq but he appealed to the world he said that they must stand up to us. that this was the time to make a choice so in contrast to what donald trump has been saying about iran he is

saying that not asking people to stand with iran but stand up for what he called was the rule of law because the united states has considers those u.n. sanctions back in place and iran desperately needs the world community the countries especially the europeans not only oppose the united states but actually stand up to them and not give in to what the united states considers is the u.n. sanctions been put back in place well this year is general assembly also follows some headline grabbing changes elsewhere in the middle east some of the job and reports. these groundbreaking peace deals are the dawn of the new middle east despite american enthusiasm multiple crises in the middle east where yet again an important highlight as world leaders gathered for the 75th united nations general assembly but it's not just unique because of the covert pandemic or the diamond jubilee for the world body but for the 1st time speeches by muslim majority states

an argument turkey will not support any plan that the palace the people do not give consent to participation of some countries of the region in this scheme does not mean anything beyond serving israel's efforts to a road basic international parameters. there was the 1st arab state to open trade ties with israel in the 1990 s. which were severed in 2009 after israeli attacks in gaza but unlike some of its neighbors it has not jumped on the normalization bandwagon. and not to the slightly well list of the international community stands helpless without taking any effective steps visibly the israeli intransigence and persistence in occupying the palestinian and arab lands besides imposing a stifling siege on the gaza strip continuing a policy of expanding settlements imposing a fait accompli policy in a flagrant violation of international legitimacy resolutions and the 2 state

solution agreed upon by the international community it's a yearly ritual of strong words from some of the world's most powerful leaders but this year's virtual addresses mean there are no diplomats carrying world leaders to sideline meetings making headway in some of the middle east longstanding issues such as the war in syria the conflict in libya iran's nuclear saga or the humanitarian crisis in yemen seymour allusive than ever. although there. turkey's president also used hazaras to accuse greenies self inflaming their standoff in the eastern mediterranean the 2 countries are in dispute over drilling rights but have agreed to new talks about their contested maritime claims. because i have seen a little there are countries acting with the understanding of winner takes it all the futile steps to exclude our country have no chance of success we do not have designs on anyone else's bright red meat and legitimate interests neither in the
