Iran criticizes West’s ambiguous policy on terrorism

Iran’s Ambassador and Deputy Permanent Envoy to the UN Es'haq Al-e Habib criticized, in a meeting in the UN, the West’s double-standard policy on terrorism.

Al-e Habib made the remarks in the meeting Friday evening on combat against terrorism. He called for worldwide fight against terrorists who are pausing serious threats to peace and stability.

The Iranian envoy said the recent EU decision on removing the Mujahedin Khalq Organization from its list of terrorist groups is an indication of the West's double-standard policy on the issue.

Acquiring weapons of mass destruction is an inhuman action, said Al-e Habib, adding that the Islamic Republic of Iran calls for annihilation of those weapons.

Later, he urged world nations to fulfill their international pledges on combating terrorism.
