Iran denounces UNSC: 'flagrant dictatorship'
Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei says the US and its allies abuse the “illogical, unjust and completely undemocratic” structure of the UN Security Council to impose their bullying on the world. - “This is a flagrant form of dictatorship, which is antiquated and obsolete and whose expiry date has passed,” Ayatollah Khamenei said during an inaugural speech to the 16th Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) summit in Tehran on Thursday. The Leader added that the US and its accomplices protect the interests of the West in the name of “human rights”, interfere militarily in other countries in the name of “democracy” and target defenseless people in villages and cities with their bombs and weapons in the name of “combating terrorism”. Ayatollah Khamenei said torture and assassination are condoned if they are carried out by the US, the Israeli regime and their puppets. They (the West) impose their interests on world nations in the name of “international law” and their domineering and illegal demands in the name of “international community”, the Leader stated.
