Trump’s UN Speech ‘Belongs In Medieval Times, Not 21st Century – Iran’s Zarif

Unic Press UK: Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif said Tuesday that U.S. President Donald Trump’s UN address is unworthy of a reply.

Trump’s speech at the United Nations belongs to the medieval times, not the 21st century UN; its unworthy of a reply, Zarif tweeted on Tuesday.

Zarif reacted to Trump’s outburst, in which the U.S. president labeled Iran a rogue nation while addressing the United Nations General Assembly.

Trump had strong words for Iran, labeling the country a ‘rogue nation’.

“It is time for the entire world to join us in demanding that Iran’s government end its pursuit of death and destruction. The Iranian government masks a corrupt dictatorship behind the false guise of a democracy. It has turned a wealthy country with a rich history and culture into an economically depleted rogue state whose exports are violence, bloodshed and chaos.” (Donald Trump: 19th September 2017)

At the UN, President Trump reiterated that the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) inked between Iran and the P5+1 group of world powers – the US, UK, France, China and Russia plus Germany – was a bad deal.

Trump’s view on the JCPOA is contrary to the position of the International Atomic Energy Association (IAEA), given that IAEA Director General told the delegates at the sixty-first regular session of the IAEA’s General Conference on Monday, 18 September 2017, that the nuclear-related commitments undertaken by the Islamic Republic of Iran under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) are being implemented.
