The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson has criticized the United Nations human rights mechanism on Iran, alleging the organization is attempting to downplay US and Israeli actions. By utilizing the Special Rapporteurship on the Situation of Human Rights in Iran to attribute blame to Iran for the transgressions committed by the US and Israel, the UN's approach is perceived as a calculated attempt to gloss over aggression, atrocities, and unilateral coercive measures, according to Esmaeil Baqaei.
Such a strategy is not only misleading but also highly deceptive, he added. Despite the politically driven mandate granted to the Human Rights Council by the UK, exploiting the Special Rapporteurship on the Situation of Human Rights in Iran to pin the blame on Iran for the crimes committed by the US and Israel is nothing short of a deliberate effort to whitewash aggression, atrocities, and unilateral coercive measures. This approach is profoundly misleading and highly dishonest, as stated by Esmaeil Baqaei.
