Bakayi: Participation in the General Assembly is Iran's legal right, not for the benefit of others / we will not abandon the New York stronghold

Foreign Ministry spokesperson, in response to a question about concerns from diplomatic literature and the fear that the atmosphere of public diplomacy might convey a misleading message that the situation is deteriorating while the American side does not want to retreat from its actions, said: we are all sharing the concern that perhaps the other side's perception is not what we intend; therefore, we must not give any signal other than a signal of power and authority that is entirely based on factual grounds

Regarding the presence of our senior delegation at the United Nations headquarters, he clarified: the presence in New York has no appeal to Iranian representatives, but there is a stronghold that must not be relinquished. The participation of the Salami Republic in the United Nations General Assembly is a legal right and no one has done us a favor in this regard. Because Iran is one of the 50 founding countries of the UN

Referring to the seven months that have passed since the recent confrontations and crimes against our country, the diplomatic service spokesperson added: it is our duty to participate in the most important international event to convey the truth of the Iranian people to the world as representatives of this nation. This is at a time when the other side has used all means to prevent the Iranian delegation's presence; from ridiculous remarks and media propaganda to the abuse of its obligations as a host government by delaying the issuance of visas or refusing to issue visas to several delegation members

In the end, he noted: such disruptions and negative propaganda will never cause us to relinquish our legitimate right to attend this meeting and express the authoritative positions of the Salami Republic of Iran and the great nation of Iran. We are obligated to participate in this global event fully prepared and to clearly explain the country's fundamental positions
