he discusses the changing world order and called for collaboration and said anytime the foreign presence is the solution itself. his comments run 35 minutes.

>> i congratulate you and give you full visitations on the 78th general assembly of the united nations. since last year when i addressed everyone from the podium, the world has witnessed bitter, as well as sweet events.

but the world, nearly eight decades following the establishment of the united nations the general assembly commences as the world is experiencing unprecedented changes, meanwhile the assurance of a luminous future for human society lies in the devoted service of lofty virtues that guide people towards excellence and noble ideals. what better source than the word of the creator? to encapsulate the essence of humanity and elevate the inherent values of mankind. distinguished delegates, ladies and gentlemen the holy koran

beckons humanity towards rationality, spirituality, the truth, and justice. it expounds upon the unity of mankind proclaiming all earthly inhabitants, it seeks to guide all towards human dignity, which will lead to the blessings thought by mankind. what has the koran said to infuriate and focus the attention of those who seek power and hold the reins of power? the koran says humans do not accept oppression and with this

pursuit you will be able to reach elevated, divine values. the koran speaks of equality among humans, it says that they were all created equally from a single mother and father. the koran, even though there are differences -- natural differences between men and women it sees them as completing one another and direct in the eyes of the creator and equal in the eyes of the creator the koran defends the sanctity of the family. and sees children as gifts entrusted to us by god. more often the koran deems --

believes in serving those who have less than we do. it directs our beliefs and faith as forbidden, recognizing the sanctity of these values. it is this the first time that the words of god, of the open impotent are being heard? the line presuming while they do so they can extinguish the divine voice for eternity? did nimrod, pharaoh, and caesar triumph over abraham, moses and jesus? the koran forbids all forms of violence in human interactions

and deems respect towards abraham, moses, and jesus on par and equal to with the sanctity for the profit mohammed, peace be upon him. these understandings that bring unity and divine teachings that inspire that build human character, that build societies, that build progress for human societies will never be burned. it is eternal.

they remain impervious. the fires of disrespect will not overcome the truth, the divine truth. mr. president, islamophobia and cultural apartheid witnessed in western countries evident in actions ranging from the desecration of the holy koran to the van on he job -- the ban on hijabs in schools and the number of deplorable discriminations are not worthy of human dignity. even more concerning is that

behind the scenes there seems to be an agenda. which seeks to divert attention with using the tool of freedom of speech as one westerner said now that the west is faced with a crisis of identity sees the world as a jungle and presents itself in the best of light as a beautiful garden. and some potent interest see this fabrication as their tools of choice. the apartheid has targeted the muslim community, particularly immigrants who themselves are victims of colonial policies,

and alignment of all adherents of faith and advocates of freedom we believe that reverence of religion should hold a prominent position on the united nations agenda. in order to indoctrinate the proper framework to respect all world religions. but the war on islam we are seeing a war against the framework of the family. the family is the most fundamental column that has supported human development which is under attack. it crimes against humanity are not just the occupation of land and oppression against people in mass killings but it is also a concerted attack on the attack

-- on the family itself that is a crime against humanity. the protection of the nucleus of the family, made up of the sanctity of marriage between a man and a woman is an inherent truth. to be accepted by the entire world, the proper teachings of the populations at large that the world, unless done so within the framework of the family will not yield the desired results. these are divine words, mother, father. natural words such as family, actions that can be seen as wanting to bring cessation to the human race itself. we are in need of a world

movement that brings commitment to the existence of the framework of the families, so that all members of the families can experience life in peace and stability, next to each other. we ask, therefore, all religious leaders to adhere to their historical responsibilities in defending the sanctity of the family and move against fabrications. we expect from the united nations to put a very high priority on its agenda and give the proper protection to the framework of the family. ladies and gentlemen we find ourselves at a critical junction in history, the global landscape is also undergoing a paradigm shift towards an emerging international order, a trajectory that is not reversible. the equation attributed to the

hegemony of the west no longer resonates with the diverse realities of today's world. the former, old liberal order catering to the ambitions of voracious rulers whose hunger had no end, and that -- into that to the capitalist has related to obsolescence. to universalize american ideals of the world, it has proven to be failures. the iranian nation takes pride in having instrumentally and unmasked the true nature of the rulers, the east and west through its islamic resolution in conjunction with nations of west asia, iran has played a role in defeating the global arrogance. now the global nations exhibit heightened resistance and

awareness, as non-western powers have emerged, there is a collective halt for the establishment of a novel and equitable world order. central to the international order is the abandonment of global arrogance in favor of regional cooperation and orders. the islamic republic of iran advocates for maximum economic and political convergence, within and between regions, and is interested in interacting with the global community under the principal of justice. however, independent nations increasingly aligned themselves towards cooperation and convergence of certain powers -- and certain powers are attempting to incite conflicts in different regions,

implementing a cold war mentality, they strive to reconstitute blocks on a global scale. this regressive endeavor poses a significant threat to the security and prosperity of nations. the islamic republic of iran's remains that the function of the east/west divide should not be permitted to take shape. making trade core doors unsafe -- corridors unsafe, stifles the economic process of sovereign nations and fermenting proxy wars across asia and europe, they are all elements of sinister chain -- the sinister chain. ironically, these actions are put forth in the name of defending democracy. however,, the global community including nations in west asia have discerned the true essence

of western democracy. an appellation that all to often is another name for the occupation and ongoing wars. the true nature of the liberal democracy project has become evident to the world, revealing it to be nothing more than a velvet glove hiding a cast iron hand. a school that was once envisioned as a beacon for the world has transformed into a cautionary tale, illustrating the limitations and shortcomings of the system. nearing the conclusion of his trajectory. ladies and gentlemen, right at a time where certain powers are steering the world towards more wars, the islamic republic of iran has put forward a policy of neighborhood and integration. this policy of neighborhood is a benevolent one towards the region that prioritize on the

regional agenda. 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. we will welcome any extended hand prior -- warmly. a stable and powerful neighbor is healthy for a historic region. having traversed two decades of tensions and crises within our region, the fruit of resilience from free nations from syria to palestine, to yemen, to afghanistan, the future prospects of the region can be secured through the cultivation of profound mutual, political

trust fostering extensive cooperation and establishing indigenous security measures. in alignment with his vision, iran has established a new chapter of constructive relations, would like mind neighboring countries through international mechanisms such as the shanghai cooperation organization or the northeast economic core door, we have prioritize these developments in order to bring their benefits and their fruits from of the people of the region. the islamic republic of iran stands ready in order to decrease the effects of climate change to bring her national

capacity for renewable energy production and share those with other countries. in the security sector the good neighbor policy seeks to increase regional cooperation and forbidden external meddling's from the caucuses to the persian gulf. any type of foreign presence not only is not part of the solution but it is part of the problem itself. from the caucuses to the persian gulf. any type of foreign presence that is not part of the solution, but it is the problem and difficulty itself. we see the security of the neighbors and any type of security for them is in -- insecurity for us. with benevolence and goodwill, we have taken initiatives throughout the region. even though bringing together

politics and security needs strengthening. this process needs to be strengthened and can only be realized when it is accompanied by meaningful economic cooperation. the area of western asia due to continued military attacks and occupation, it has been negated many opportunities for progress and development. now the leadership, the supreme leader of the and make -- islamic revolution, we have been able to drive back the rotten foundations of terrorism. we have created new opportunities for the region, the power of the islamic republic of iran is an empowering security. and we seek to extend our hands

to neighboring countries in order to bring about new horizons of hope and success for the entire region. we believe that this is a collaborative effort in the muslim world. this requires the participation of all. this is the only pathway to success in west asia. the islamic republic of iran has many and rare opportunities for investments which represent a great opportunity for countries from throughout the world and in the region. your attendees last year, was the year of the victory, certain western nations and their intelligence services during the past year. made a great mistake by the

miscalculation that they saw to diminish and undervalue and underestimate the power of iranian people. since the islamic revolution's victory, the enemies of iran through various and continued and incessant plots saw to impose their will on our people, more than 44 years these policies have been defeated by the iranian people and the iranian people have stood victorious again and again. now the enemies are faced with an exhaust -- islamic republic, that the power of home is based on the progress of which is based on profound ties with his people. the people of iran witnessed the most significant wave -- most significant psychological war waged against them.

the united states of america, which now possesses the biggest women's prison, therefore mothers prison in iran can sincerely be the defender of women's rights. now the picture they saw to introduce to the world from iran was by legitimate with the legitimate news by fabricating lies and fake reports. reality is from iran were censored throughout the world in order to negate the truth. have you ever heard anything about the chemical bombardment against the iranian people, those chemical weapons that were supplied by certain european countries? in a line have you seen those whose bodies that are severely damaged by chemicals who are still alive but in

hospitals for 35 years, have you seen their photos and images? have you seen ill children who cannot overcome immune diseases because of sanctions imposed on us that prevents us from obtaining proper mitigation? have you seen those photos? have you seen the pictures of patients, of sacrifice and steadfast fortitude of the islamic people of iran? have you seen those pictures? have you seen the unprecedented movement of the remembrance of the prophet mohammed's grandson, 22 million strong marching towards his burial site for the

anniversary of his martyrdom. many country -- countries throughout our region are owed to the sacrifices of our marcher general surrogate had it -- marcher --martyr general, had it not been for the antiterrorism activities. many of the countries in the region would have burned to the ground and the fires set by isis, had you -- have you seen, do you recall the steadfast stories of heroic fights against terrorism through hollywood like generated reports in the news media? have you seen the 25 million strong funeral of the late

commander, throughout iran? those were censored throughout the world in the west. the terror act -- terrorist activism assassination was a p rize, given on a silver platter, whom according to certain american officials, had confessed that isis was an american creation. this killing was a gift to isis, instead of recognizing him for his sacrifices, he is assassinated, why? but the islamic republic of iran through the use of all tools and capacities in order to bring to justice the perpetrators, and all those who had a hand in the government sanctioned act of terror will not sit until that

is done. the blood of the oppressed will not be forgotten. and the robes of the guilty will bring them to justice. ladies and gentlemen, deer heads of states, representatives, most serious threats in north asia are extremism and fundamentalism. the eradication of terrorism, through an all-encompassing fight against the very roots and very reasons that gave rights to them, throughout the world, will not be achieved. the surgical use of terrorists by certain western governments as a political tool will be overcome by the collective will of the people of the region.

certain intelligence and security services of western countries in a targeted fashion moving terrorists from area to area in the region, in order to be able to capitalize on their devastating capacities. they keep being asked why have you given refuge again and again to officially recognize terror groups who had the blood over 17,000 iranian marchers -- martyrs on their hands as well as congressional representatives? why do europeans behave in this way, they must give a reasonable answer. why do they say and portray that they are fighting against terror, however they give refuge to terrorists? this is a double standard.

discrimination in the fight against terrorism is a green light given to terrorists themselves. iran, who herself, has been the biggest target of terrorists has been at the forefront of fighting terrorism in the region. the people of the region see iran as a partner for their own security, and the occupying regime in jerusalem is seen as a perpetrator of for much of the violence in the region. i have not come to bring an end to 7.5 documents -- decades of the occupation of palestinian lands, of the blood of their women and children and for the people of palestine to officially be recognized as a country, the continuation of the occupation of the zionist regime of certain palestinian and

lebanese territories. the lack of recognition to the people of palestine has been a negation of their inherent rights. the lack of formulation of a proper palestinian government with its rightful capital in jerusalem has been a tool used at the hand of certain governments in the region. certain foundations that have in -- made in the region by certain countries based on lies and destruction and occupation. those countries cannot be partners for peace. the situation today in afghanistan represents another example of foreign meddling in the region, which has led to the killing of over 70,000 men, women and children. in afghanistan, iran insists on

an all-encompassing government with the participation of all afghan groups and populations. the assistance of the world is needed in order to address the crisis of refugees who have been driven from their land, from afghanistan, a great many of whom are being given refuge in islam -- iran today. the irani crisis and the war, i would like to remind everyone of our position as the islamic republic, we do not stand or support any war anywhere. not in europe, nor anywhere else. we don't see any war to benefit any side in europe, any type of tension and fanning the flames of violence in ukraine has been

done by the united states of america in order to weaken the european countries. this is a long-term plan unfortunately. we support any initiative for a cessation of hostilities and the war, and support any political measure, we fully announce our support for such initiative. mr. president. ladies and gentlemen, americans leading the jcpoa shows the trampling upon their commitments by that government. it was an inappropriate response to our fulfillment of commitments within that framework by having broken the agreement within the framework of resolution 2231, passed by

the un security council, it has committed agree just and unilateral -- it has committed an egregious and unilateral crime. the united states of america must explain and demonstrate in a verifiable fashion that it does wish to reach a proper conclusion, and show her commitment and choose a path, either jcpoa, or not. whether the european countries, by the same token, who ignore resolution, u.s. security council resolution 2231, and the frameworks within the jcpoa, they will ultimately lose. rest assured that nuclear weapons have no place in the defensive doctrine and the

military doctrine of the islamic republic of iran. the international organizations multiple, official reports have stated as much. the islamic republic of iran has, two decades ago, will never, will never fall short of obtaining the inherent right of the iranian nation to have peaceful nuclear energy. not only we have -- we have lived up to our commitment, but unfortunately, the united states not only does not adhere to her commitments within any framework of international treaty such as the npt, but it does impose sanctions with that excuse as a political tool on people such as the people of iran. but, i am saying today that the

sanctions have not yielded the desired results. it's time now for the united states to bring a cessation to her traveling on the wrong path and choose the right side. ladies and gentlemen, humanity is entering a new framework. old powers will keep their current downward trajectory. they are the past and we are the future. i repeat once again, they represent the past, and we represent the future. we are the future. our viewpoint towards the future is one of hope. the world awaits the day that has been promised by all faiths throughout the world, by all abraham it face -- abrahamic

faiths, the ultimate seeker of justice exists. we believe according to divine well, just as divine prophets have promised, justice and fairness will overtake the world . the rule of the sincere people, those who truly follow the path of the omnipotent will reverberate throughout the world. a world that rejects ignorance. the world awaits the day in which the old path will come to an end i do thank you for all of your attention and your presence here today are you may the blessings of the omnipotent be upon you and your loved ones.
