Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson, Esmaeil Baghaei, has stated that Iran will not forgo its right to attend the UN General Assembly, emphasizing that the country's participation is not a privilege granted by the United States, according to IRNA. In a televised appearance, Baghaei noted that the prospect of being in New York holds no allure for Iranian representatives, but it is a duty that must not be forsaken.
He clarified that attending the UN General Assembly is a legal entitlement, not a favor from others, given Iran's status as one of the 50 founding member states of the UN. Baghaei underscored Iran's responsibility to attend the most significant international event to ensure the rights of the Iranian people are heard worldwide. He further alleged that the United States utilizes various tactics to impede the Iranian delegation's participation, encompassing derogatory comments and media propaganda, as well as abusing its role as the host nation by causing delays or denying visas to several delegation members, as reported by IRNA.
