Iran blames UN for failure to deal with Zionists' crimes

Tehran, July 5, IRNA – Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said on Sunday that international organizations mainly the United Nations have failed to seriously deal with the crimes and atrocities of the Zionist regime.

Mottaki made the remarks on the occasion of the 28th anniversary of kidnapping of four Iranian diplomats in Beirut by Israeli secret service.

Zionists are now regarded as the worst threat to the Middle East region, said the Iranian foreign minister.

“If the UN had adopted a severe stand against the crimes and atrocities of the Zionists in the past, the regime would not have dared to commit new crimes such as targeting Gaza-bound flotilla, he said.

The Zionist regime has turned into a source of threat to all nations of the region, endangering peace and security of the world, he said.

Inhuman crimes committed by the usurper regime in the past six decades in the occupied lands as well as other parts of the region, truly demonstrates the savage nature of the fabricated regime, Mottaki said.

Based on existing documents and evidences, four Iranian diplomats kidnapped by the Zionist regime are held in Israeli jails, he said and urged all Lebanese and Palestinian groups and international organizations to help secure their release, he said.

The Zionist regime like the former apartheid regime in South Africa is doomed to failure and the nations of the region mainly the Palestinians will witness formation of a democratic system in place of the Zionist occupiers, he said./end
