Pezeshkian says Europe sanctions move reveals bad faith

Sep 24, 2025, 15:06 GMT+1

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on Wednesday blasted a move by Germany, Britain and France to trigger the "snapback" of international sanctions on Iran last month which is due to take effect in days.

"Three European states - having failed through a decade of bad faith and thereafter by supporting military aggression to bring the proud people of Iran to their knees - at the behest of the United States of America sought by means of pressure, coercion, imposition and manifest abuse to reinstate against the Iran Security Council resolutions that had already been terminated," he said.

"In doing so, they set aside good faith. They circumvented legal obligations," he added, calling the European move a "gross violation."

"The world ... was witness to these surreptitious raids, infringement upon the sovereignty of nations, violation of the territorial integrity of states ... all of this under the full support of the most heavily armed regime in the face of the earth," Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said in a speech to the UN General Assembly on Wednesday.

"Who is the disturber of the stability of the region and the world? Who is the actual threat against international peace and security?" he added, according to a simultaneous translation.

"(Iran) was subjected to a savage aggression and flagrant contravention of the most elementary law."

Ex-Iran MP threatens reopening drug routes to EU if UN sanctions return

A former Iranian lawmaker threatened to reopen drug transit routes to Europe if UN sanctions are reimposed on Tehran under the snapback mechanism.

“We mistakenly closed the drug transit route toward Europe and stopped the flood of drugs heading to them. If the snapback mechanism is implemented, we can reopen the drug transit route to Europe, and then you will see that the West will be in trouble,” Iraj Nadimi said.

Iranian lawmakers dismiss US curbs on UN delegation as symbolic

Sep 24, 2025, 13:52 GMT+1

Iranian lawmakers on Wednesday downplayed US restrictions on President Masoud Pezeshkian’s delegation in New York, with one calling them “a joke” and another saying they exposed President Donald Trump’s weakness.

Hassanali Akhlaghi Amiri, a lawmaker from Mashhad, said Iranian officials “have no need to buy goods from America” and described the measures as laughable.

Javad Hosseini-Kia, deputy head of parliament’s industry committee, said the restriction underscored Trump’s “weakness against Iran” and said Tehran would use forums like the UN General Assembly to push for greater unity among Muslim nations, including ideas for a shared “Islamic NATO and currency.”
