going to keep you there for a moment, because i want to throw to the united states, where we're going to speak with firuzeh mahmoudi, who's executive director of united for iranme. and we're hearing there from our correspondent caroline hawley, who's been following this story since the last year, really, and speaking to a lot of the protesters in the last month. and what she was just saying there is... we're not talking aboutjust the urban elite in the cities, but this protest and this cry to support mahsa amini sort of has infiltrated villages right across the country. that's absolutely correct. what we have seen is with mahsa's death — and her name wasjina, that's her name her family called her, but because being a kurdish name, they couldn't call herjina. with jina's death last year this time, we saw a watershed moment in iran where people realised that in order to win against the islamic republic — and the government does divide and conquer — that they need to unify and galvanise. that was the executive director of united for iran and of course our correspondent caroline hawley talking about a year since the death of mahsa amini. you're watching bbc news.

iran's first complaint in the united nations security council. gain security 231. with this introduction, i want to say that it is possible to use the capacity of the united nations for iran, although the main game of the united nations security council, which is the monopoly of the great powers, but the general assembly has the potential that the honorable president should use this opportunity. and in the direction national interest takes action, but under what conditions this is being held, i can divide it into three categories: national, regional and international level. in each of these levels , there are a series of positive and negative inputs. at the global level , there are efforts at the national level. which in any case exists from outside the country in iran's 122 construction, but in a positive way, we are witnessing the internal stability of iran, which will have a positive effect on iran at the regional level , and it is up to iran to import a hundred riotous colors into the region. such as fueling iran's disputes with the countries of the taliban region, azerbaijan, storing water in it is against a series of positive inputs from the positive aspects th

diplomacy was based on an indirect agreement between iran and the united states, which was published in the media forfor them, for me, an emotional conversation. according to this agreement, in exchange for the release of five americans who were imprisond in iran for the crime of espionage, five iranian prisoners who were detained and imprisoned under the pretext of circumventing illegal sanctions by american security institutions were released. on monday evening, five american prisoners left for doha a qatari airplane that had been stationed mehrabad airport since sunday morning. ما بودیم اصلاً پنجره نداشت و من می تونم بگم که آسمونو من برای ۱۰ یا ۱۱ ندیدم و رفتاری که ما می کردن رفتار یعنی این همه این کشور ادعای حقوق بشر میکنه چیزی که راجع صحبت می کنم با واقعیت کاملاً متفاوت دولت آمریکا اتهامی رو علیه من مطرح کرده و اون این بوده که من اراده کرده بودم که در با نادیده گرفتن تحریم ها were mentioned in the media before, and the names of two of them have been announced, although some sources have announced that one of these two people is an iranian american woman. also, iran's ambassador to the united nat

were condemned in the european country by the president of iran. in the united nations in the course of the speech of mr. fawhet, iran asks for goodwill from the united states for the nuclear agreement. in this speech , as expected, criticisms were raised especially against the west . the iranian president says that some western countries use democracy as a tool for occupation. the organization's news website the nations also use the documents of the speech of the president of our country to sanction the way of war of the united states against the nations of the world. he wrote that the islamic republic is well-adjacent to its neighboring countries. the president of sedav and sima news agency called the minister of interior from new york and followed up on the situation in the flooded areas in the north of the country. field should be followed up and the president should also be mobilized to speed up the handling of the situation of the flood victims. the initial damages of the astara flood are estimated to be more than 600 billion tomans. increase clause according to mr. shahabzadeh, 262 mm of rain will flood in 12 hours on

to go to new york and the headquarters of the united nations , the most important way his speech at the organization's general assembly the nations of iran for the viewers of the 78th meeting of the united nations general assembly for 35 minutes. in the last speech , mr. raisi explained the positions of the islamic republic of iran in the domestic and international environment and explained to the foreign and international audiences about the most important issues the speech spoke about the cruel sanctions imposed by the united states on the situation of the iranian nation, and at the same time, he emphasized that the sanctions on the iranian nation became more and more serious for progress after the jcpoa and the iran nuclear agreement, and pointed out that the united states withdrew from the jcpoa. and indeed with this whole work you broke your commitments, the european countries also failed to fulfill their commitments towards the islamic republic of iran. mehran, mr. raisi's speech was about the necessity and priority of developing relations with the neighbors in the foreign policy of the islamic republic of iran. other important points

for iran . how important are iran's gas statements for korea? with all these units , they used to spend time with books instead of paying money, and the excuse was a 5-year embargo, which we cannot use. it was good that you cannot use these words, and the problem is your problem is not to solve our problem and not even a fee regarding keeping your money, the iranian authorities have not accepted this demand from korea since 2018. they put different options on the table. the first option was to be able to use the cream money like the other money we had. a series of things happened that did not end up causing iran to pursue legal action to receive its rights on the table, what conditions apparently resulted, and on august 19, korea's debt to become a swiss central bank account coalition and then in cash the qatari bank was deposited, the agreements that were made have been completed payments should be made by international brokers of qatari banks as well as swift, and now the iranian oil money in qatar has been deposited into the account of saman shahr bank, pasargad

for iran. we explained this matter well to the americans and they also understood how important iran's gas statements are for korea, but despite all these units, the korean government avoided paying iran's demands under the pretext of sanctions. it was good that we could not use it for 5 years you use it and your problem is the embargo problem, this is not our problem and refusing even a fee for keeping your money, because in the difficult and difficult conditions of our people, even importing a few million tons of inputs and growth was very important, importing medicine for is very important. and our nation will not forget their historical memory in this regard. in addition to diplomatic negotiations, iran was the site of negotiations for many years with countries that imported oil , as well as negotiations with the american side and mainly with the european side for the release of resources. 2018 to criticize this demand for options he put another one on the table. the first one was that we could use korean money like the other money we had, and in the end it didn't happen . that iran put the legal pursuit on the table to receive its rights

iran to turkey, the zionist regime, which are anti-iranian goals. what are the regional actors of turkey for zionist life, as well as what the united states is looking for in iran, as a result of the attack at the level, in fact, the turkish region and the zionist regime have separate goals and it should be clear, in this case, the people of the launch have a synergy , which is we will mention and if at the level international, and unfortunately today, it has become one of the international agendas, along with the island of taiwan and ukraine, today , in the international arena, we are witnessing the transition from the us-centered western military system to the multilateral system and the health system of the eastern part of the country. in order to prevent this process , the western countries created a framework for china with the island of taiwan, russia, and the caucasus for all three countries, china, russia, and iran. can prevent that in the same space now south how important has armenia become? well, the current issue is the main issue, in fact , they are now in sivnik province of armenia, and the focus of all activists on this area, the deba

iran and the u.s. have been talking to each other for many years. during obama administration, they broke records in terms of the number of hours they spoke, the ministers. iran and the unitedtates have been indirectly talking for many, many months now. so, that's not a major problem. the problem is basically the difficulties that we have in the u.s. congress. we have the republican to oppose any type of approach meant -- approaching with iran. and we have some powerful democrats like robert menendez, who is chairman of the foreign affairs committee in the u.s. senate. they are not in line with the biden administration's policies towards iran. he opposed the nuclear agreement in 2015. he opposes a nuclear agreement now. i think that level of confrontation is much more in washington than in tehran. in tehran, people generally want to see lesser tensions between iran and the united states. mohammed: roxane, i want to get your take on this. what do you say, is this prison exchange going to lead to more dialogue between iran and the west -- and the u.s.? they rarely agree on anything so this is clearly a rare event. how significant is it? roxane: it certainly was a prerequisite

the successful diplomacy was based on indirect agreement between iran and the united states which was published in media fored in doha, um, i can tell you that uh, it was uh for them uh, for me an emotional conversation. according to this agreement, in exchange for the release of five americans who were imprisoned in iran for the crime of espionage, five iranian prisoners who were detained and imprisoned under the pretext of circumventing illegal sanctions by american security institutions were released on the... جایی که ما بودیم اصلاً پنجه نداشت و من می تونم بگم که آسمونو من برای ۱۰ یا ۱۱ ندیدم و رفتاری که ما میکردن رفتار یعنی این همه این کشور ادعای حقوق بشر میکنه چیزی که راجع بهش صحبت میکن با واقعیت کاملاً متفاوت آمریکا iran's ambassador to the united nations announced the names of five prisoners released by the united states as luthful afrasyaبی and kambies attar khashan. political scientist john mirscheimer once told an ottawa university assembly in 2015 that washington's attempt to austracize iran in the middle east is an unfortunately. uh, i think that uh, the indians and the chinese are increasingly

following year, political , economic or cultural beads, for example, in may 1359 , after the victory of the islamic revolution in iran, the united states for the release of the hostages turned into a military situation in iran, which, of course, faced with the failure of the war in tabas , the american crisis-making continued in iran, now they were always trying to create a crisis with the tools of economic, cultural and identity sanctions. an example from the movie argo , another example from the movie 300 at trevor seminary they took the scientists to politics, which reached the negotiation table. today, i announce that the united states will pull out of the nuclear agreement with the iranian regime. in last year's riots , he was a clean man if he did not show an object in iran, but his fellow ambassadors turned it against iran. the young people of tehran's neighborhoods had drawn a line and asked people to be in the streets around the bazaar and university tomorrow, saturday and wednesday. now this is iran , the revolution is 45 years old, and this is america. emergency ahead they don't have a thousand dollars to spend, atefe

united states, the islamic responsibility of iran in the international arena are some of the most important reasons that the united states and its allies have mobilized islamic iran. this is the main reason for soft war, the cultural war, the economic war, the cognitive war, and the combined war against the dear people of the country. the red culture in persian literature describes the discrimination and sanctions, the fight against the iranian spirit, its beauty. the combined war wants to cover up the cruel sanctions and human rights. today, i am proud to say that there is no systematic discrimination in the popular and revolutionary government of mr. president. the presence of sunni baloch women in sensitive positions such as the ambassador of the plenipotentiary representative of the islamic republic of iran and the noble nation of iran has been in this government for two years. several other men and women of sunni ethnicity in managerial positions inside the country, although it is not enough, more worthy ones should be used in important decision-making and executive areas . people are now consuming life to provide growth and production to curb inflation. the wise leader of the islamic r

, which the anti-iranian goals of the turkish regional actors for the zionist life, as well as what the united states is looking for in iran, at the level, in fact, the turkish region and the zionist regime in these separate goals and it was launched in these states, there is a synergy with kermanshah and if internationally unfortunately, today it has become one of the international agenda by spending gas next to the island of taiwan and ukraine. today, in the international arena, we are witnessing a transition from the us-centered western military system to a multilateral system and a system in this context to the western countries because from this process , they created the transition of china with the island of taiwan, russia with discussion, and ukraine and the caucasus for all three countries, china, russia, and iran in reality, and they are looking for tension and equipment that will prevent this transition in reality as much as they can. in this space , what is the importance of southern armenia now, the current issue of thought i think that is where the main problem is, in fact , they are now in the sivnik provinc

15 game stands from the 5 continents of the world in favor of iran and gave a two-year deadline for the damage caused to iran by the united states. be paid and we have to understand with them of course let's come to an understanding about the amount of damages and taking a tourist . the international court of justice has decided that it determines the amount of damages. it is up to other banks and companies to decide how soon the vote will be issued, but at least a few tens of millions of presidents that we expect to be issued, although we requested more than that, we did not get the result on the day of the central bank, but of course my right still remains . in this they said that the vote was issued somehow the islamic republic of iran has given the right, but the loan agreement did not include the central bank, but there, too , in the negative effect , tell other banks and other companies about the calendar, and if you do not change yourself , let us specify the amount, they are negotiations within the country, and the companies will be out of negotiations. what should we change the amount? the americans laugh that if

iran says the regime's threat to use nuclear weapons undermines international peace and security. netanya u the united nations general assembly called for a quote credible nuclear threat against iran. iran has. resolute response to israel after the regime's prime minister threatened to use nuclear weapons against the islamic republic. amir said irawani said israel's threat to use nuclear weapons is serious threat to international peace and security and the international community must not remain indifferent or silent. the iranian envoy urged the united nations security council to denounce israel's reckless statement. iran's deputy permanent representative to the united nations. has also denounced israel's nuclear threat against the country. zahra ershadi has called on the international community to force the regime to abandon nuclear weapons, join the npt and accept the iaea safeguard system. this is really regime with the support of the united states has consistently opposed all initiatives aimed at the establishing a nuclear weapon free zone in the middle east. the position of hundreds of nuclear weapons by this region poses. severe t

this law, the government of the united states of america is obliged to compensate for the damages caused by the actions and the crimes of the united states against iran and iranians, the government of the islamic republic of iran and the judicial system responsible for pursuing the rights of iranian nationals due to terrorist acts that violate human rights. sent and nasr the notification received and the description contained in the case have been confirmed, so all the readers are aware of the present hearing, who apparently did not appear many times from this report, and also introduced a lawyer to present the defense of the claimants to the present court, first of all, speechless. the demands of the families of the martyrs and the injured of the accident were raised by the united states of america government, political governments and playing with mr. watan's words. the family's complaint is not just for us. i want to represent the victims of terror in afghanistan, iraq , syria and defend others. other countries that are victims terrorist acts have been done. let me speak. first of all, we will explain our complaint. the prosecution of muhammad's h

ensuring that the region itself is not reliant on uh the united states or the west uh in it entirety because you know iran is always willing to you now for its neighbors uh be key a real key regional player uh and unlike the united states which looks to kind of monopolize and exert control over it uh as you as we see here with iran joining for example bricks and the shanghai cooperation council iran is really looking for you know uh trade and trust based on mutual mutual growth mutual trust mutual respect between two nations and so what this presents as a challenge to the united states is that iran can now partner up with these different uh these different nations these different states that are looking to you know increase their... capacity for for production, not rely so much on the united states and also establishing a key economic relationship that isn't predatory, that isn't linked to the imf that isn't linked to the world bank, but rather based off mutual trust and cooperation with iran and allied states. yeah, and and since you're in um beirout there, julie, in terms of uh, the way that the u.s. has prevented or tried to prevent u

iran's weapon of war they'll be frozen out of the u.s. financial system, denied use of the u.s. dollar and denied access to the united states. for years, iran and its proxies have reigned hell from the middle east from the sky with their attack u.a.v.'s and now iran's dangerous arsenal is enabling russia's war crimes and devastation of ukraine. we cannot wait to act until the u.n. restrictions expire. we need to prevent these weapons sales now before these deadly missiles and drones are on the battlefield. in fact, iran is working within russia inside of russia to make these very drones. so with that, mr. speaker, i urge my colleagues to support the bill and reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from texas reserves, the gentlewoman from pennsylvania is recognized. ms. dean: the united states has harbored grave concerns regarding iran's missile program and among the concerns are fierce they're being developed to one day deploy a nuclear warhead but we've also experienced iran's short and medium-range missiles that pose a direct and deadly threat to american forces in the region and the territories

for iran. korea is important, but in spite of all these units, at the time of accounting, the korean government avoided paying iran's demands under the pretext of a 5-year embargo, which we cannot use. we do not even refuse to pay a fee for keeping your money that in the difficult and difficult conditions of our people, even importing several million tons , it was very important for him to import medicine and it was very important, and our nation will not forget their historical memory in this field, iran, in addition to diplomatic negotiations , has been the site of negotiations for several years iran was with the countries that imported oil, and the negotiations that took place with the american side and mainly with the european side for the release of resources in 2018 also put other options on the table to criticize this demand. the first option was to be able to use large sums of money. like other money we used let's do it, but it didn't come to an end, the next option was that this happened in the form of clearing with a series of goods, which also didn't come to an end , causing iran to

iran has only announced used for humanitarian purposes. the united states will be monitoring the transactions when they take place from this account to make sure it is used for those purposes and if iran deviates from the use that has been authorized, the u.s. has options to freeze those funds again. whatever is being said by government officials, and he read one quote, i see others from iranian officials acknowledging they agreed to these restrictions. they will need to stick to that or else we have options at our disposal. geoff: can the administration guarantee the money will not end up in the hands of iran's military guard or be used to fund and arm militants across the middle east? >> i can tell you none of these funds are going to end up in around at all. they will be available for authorized uses, humanitarian purposes, for iran to make purchases like food and medicine. taking a step back, you jumped immediately and i understand why that is given the discourse. the bigger picture here is there are five americans who have been held in around fo

iran's ambassador to the united nations in iran with emphasis on tehran's adherence to commitments and international laws and the united nations charter written by iran are a clear and stable museum for standard conflicts. america's cynical attempt to establish a real connection between the initial use of drones in the ukraine conflict and security council resolution 2231 is misleading and completely baseless, mr. roufi stated. it is completely fake and lacks any legal validity. the permanent representative of the islamic republic of iran to the united nations emphasized that the united states , despite repeated violations of resolution 2231, seeks to deliberately mislead the international community and manipulate the mission of the united nations secretariat for political benefits. the general staff of libya announced the beginning of the investigation into the cause of the collapse of two hundred cities in nine . sediq soor emphasized that the prosecutor's office has summoned the officials of the post office and the ministry of water resources of libya to investigate the reasons for the collapse of these dams and determine the fate of the property allocated for the maintenance of t

united states. basically, his brother was not imprisoned but was released, and the children of amir nzam were convicted for the crime of transferring iran'sfidential documents to the united states for their father's imprisonment for years. this issue has been paid to his three children, each of them is in the collection of one and a half million. there are ways to earn money in the name of the people of iran, which has a history of 40 years. the second son of mrs. connie brock says in her article that since 1983, for example, suppose only 4 years after the revolution until 1989 mr. reza pahlavi he receives 15,000 dollars a month from the black organization and this employee of the us state department received a salary from the us state department within 6 years. he says, "i am swedish, i am a member of the swedish parliament , i am a representative of the people of sweden ." loofah is an old plant from the pumpkin family. this plant is a natural exfoliator that helps a lot in the creation and removal of pimples and skin blemishes . bakiti produces face exfoliating bath towels and small pads for the use of all family members. continuous us

iran, but these reasons have not been documented. in this context, it was said that there was a common rumor that the main motivation for the attack was iran and the unitedtes. later, during the war, the most important help was provided by the intelligence of the united states or it is possible that there was no air map today, there were no facilities, it was available to the americans , they could easily map the position of our forces with aerial maps, if they were continuously and successively provided , the americans certainly helped and the methods of war in the common sense friends who recently instead i put the tactics in the action of the soul, the tactical things, that is, the gun , are at saddam's disposal. the europeans, the french , provided the most advanced air equipment to iraq . they gave saddam the most advanced equipment in the world today. the germans gave saddam the means to prepare chemical weapons, which caused so many disasters in iran, in iraq itself, in halabja. the signs that i am the religion of crimes all over the world are the blocks of the former soviet city and the countries in europe that had done it. possibilities ground a

suitable game in the world for iran, this content is good for americans we have explained and they were also hurt that how important iran's gas statements are for korea. with all these units, they sometimes had fun paying money . the excuse was the 5-year embargo, which we cannot use. it is good that you cannot use these words. do it and your problem is the embargo problem, not our problem, and even a fee for keeping your iranian money since 2018 , they didn't put any options on the table for this demand from korea . it did not reach the end , the next option was that it was good in the form of clearing with 13 the products of this incident happened and this did not end, which caused iran to put on the table the legal pursuit to receive its rights. the site apparently gave results, and on august 19 , the korean debt was converted into euros. qatari deposited the agreements that were made, all payments are made by international agents of qatari banks as well as swift, and now iran's oil money is in the discussion of saman shahr bank, pasargad, agriculture, tourism and entrepreneur, all the resources obtained from the foreign exchange reserves of the central bank and rial s

council iran is really looking for you know uh trade and trust based on mutual mutual growth mutual trust mutual respect between two nations and so what this presents as a challenge to the united states. is that iran can now partner up with these different uh, these different nations, these different states that are looking to, you know, increase their capacity for four production, not rely so much on the united states and also establishing a key economic relationship that isn't predatory, that isn't linked to the imf, that isn't linked to the world bank, but rather based off mutual trust and cooperation with iran and its allied states. yeah, and since you're in um beirout there, julie, in terms of... the way that uh the us has prevented uh or tried to prevent uh the for example transfer of iranian oil to uh to lebanon, what's wrong with iran transferring its aerospace technology to lebanon or its missile technology? i think maybe the us then is very concerned about that because uh obviously one of the things that stands out in this region is the israeli regime and i think that's probably one of the driving factors that the us has uh when it comes to preventing iran from advan

tuesday morning, 2 iranians imprisoned in the united states returned home, and their return was the only result of the agreement between iran and the united states for the exchange of prisoners, but in the interview of mr. mohammad terkashund's colleagues with these iranians who experienced the food and prison process in america, a key word draws attention that america was looking for a special signature and trading people. the interview of mr. reza sarhangpour, an iranian prisoner, from america let's see, the result was that after 8, no court was filed for me, and no charges could be filed against the engineer, as opposed to actually proving it to you in court, reza, after 800 days, i had done all my efforts to get you convicted. and it led to failure, and i did not agree to do the whole supply of forces and in fact we did not agree to do the deal with those who had proposed the deal. this is the general policy of the united states in court cases, that by delaying saeed's proceedings in boring the accused and forcing him to accept a series of false attributions they have and we have been given power proposals since a year and a half ago, and if i h

it is the most appropriate game in the world for iran, and they are also worried about how important iran's gas declarations are for korea, with all these units, it takes time to calculate and pay money. they were having fun. it was an excuse for the 5-year embargo, which we couldn't use. it was good that you can't use these words, and your problem is the embargo. our problem is also that you have to pay a fee for keeping your money . iranian authorities have not filed this request since 2018. from korea, different options are put on the table the first was to be able to use korean money like the other money we had, but it didn't work out. the next option was to use it in the form of clearing with a bunch of miscellaneous goods. this also didn't work out, which made iran pursue legal action to receive it. he should leave his salary on the table. apparently, on august 19, the debt of korea to become a coalition was deposited into the account of the swiss central bank and then deposited into the qatari bank. and now iran's oil money in qatar is in shaba saman's account the city of pasargad, agriculture, tourism and entrepreneur, all the resourc

it's illegal for unit $8200.00 to target is ready for it, but it's not published in that's because the unit operates in. what's it called for in a read? iran is considered one a read syria, another. and then there are kind of thing is if they were for an adversary not an indigenous occupied population. one of the most effective ways to monitor products is to turn them against each other by black males into becoming collaborated. it's a particularly corrosive technique to create this trust within communities and it relies on finding people's vulnerabilities. you always look for weaknesses, people with psychological difficulties or trust issues, stuff like that. if we have compromising material, we use that in order to force them into cooperation. so for instance, someone who is almost sexual, that is something that can be used against in officers or even talk different vocabulary for how to say gay and arabic to identify these people in past them on low. so if someone or their family has a medical problem, we can offer them treatments or prevent them from getting treatments to blackmail cooperation. so any kind of weakness that we can use i

countries in the coming years it has been clarified that the president of iran is waiting for the practical action of the unitedin fulfilling its obligations in the nuclear deal. the prime minister of japan also called iran a country with a high capacity in this meeting and expressed his country's desire to expand relations with iran as well as diplomatic efforts to reduce the tension in the region was reported by mr. raisi, also during the meeting with the prime minister of iraq, while thanking the iraqi government and nation for hosting the arbaeen hosseini pilgrims , he pointed out the actions of the iraqi government in dealing with terrorist groups in the kurdistan region of iraqi kurdistan and expressed his hope that these actions will be carried out. complete weapons of these groups continue yabede shiraz sudani also stated that we will never allow the borders and territory of iraq to be used to attack iran. the presidents of iran and tajikistan, in their meeting at the united nations headquarters , discussed using the capacity of the joint economic commission and also sharing the capacity. the president

its entire existence is to serve as an agent for uh for the scientis movement in the united states. news in brief for this hour, iran'sressure on terwan by abusing the mechanisms of the international atomic energy agency. muhammad islami says western countries resort to political means and sanctions to achieve their goal. he also earged the iaea to maintain his impartiality and professionalism. ukraine confirms the arrival of the first batch of us made abraham's battle tanks in kiev, that's part of a multi-billion dollar security assistance promised by washington. us officials say the tanks are with 120 millimeter rounds of dipted uranium enough to pierce.

this as an opportunity for iran to present what iran is all about by an iranian leader, as you know, there is a difficulty in western media athletes, the corporate media in the united states in number of european countries that demonize iran, so there is this issue of public diplomacy, the idea of having an iranian president talk about iran to an international audience is going to be important. dr. izadi told us why the iranian president help the holy quran when delivering his speech at the un general assembly. you saw the... this year the president held the quran, and this is a reaction to what we experienced in the in last year, quran burning, which is designed to demonize islam, so this this idea of demonization is not a problem of jaran, islam in general is demonized in western countries especially, islam homophobia is quite extensive, so a portion of the president speech dealt with that issue, and since he is a cleric, i think he thought that this would be his duty to defend the book, the holy book and talk about the virtues of islam, speaking to the annual un general assembly meeting in new york, iran's president say: ibrahim raisi delivered a manifesto for t

this as an opportunity for iran to present what iran is all about by an iranian leader, as you know, there is a difficulty in western media athletes, the corporate media in the united states, in a number of european. countries that demonize iran, so there is this issue of public diplomacy, um, the idea of having an iranian president talk about iran to an international audience is going to be important. dr. izadi told us why the iranian president held the holy quran when delivering his speech at the un general assembly. you saw this year. the president held the quran, and this is a reaction to what we experienced in the in last year, quran learning, which is designed to demonize islam, so this this idea of demonization is not a problem of just iran, islam in general, is demonized in western countries, especially, islamophobia is quite extensive, so a portion of the president speech dealt with that issue, and since he is a cleric, i think he thought that this would be his duty to defend the book, the holy book and talk about the virtues of islam. speaking to the annual un general assembly meeting in new york, iran's president ibrahim delivered a manifesto for the fut
