00:00President, Mr. Secretary General, Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen, I had prepared a speech
00:12to present to you yesterday. The United States President described us as terrorists. We have
00:21been the victims of terrorism. I come from an Iran in which our esteemed supreme leader
00:35was assassinated without any legal framework or reason. I come from an Iran where, in truth,
00:44they bombed a school. You see these children? These children perished under bombs with weapons
01:03used by the United States and Israel. They were innocent, had committed no crimes,
01:14Lamert, one of the small cities in a province in Iran, a sports hall where children were busy
01:24playing. The United States, by using weapons with multiple warheads, targeted that sports hall.
01:37They martyred, assassinated our scientists, our men, women, and children. Innocent children
01:46whom, in truth, had committed no crimes, no sins. Those who are terrorists and train and protect
01:54terrorists describe us as such. We have only defended ourselves. We are not terrorists.
02:02terrorists. Our innocent people have been the targets of cowardly attacks and aggressions imposed
02:14upon our country. And we defended ourselves with utmost strength. America and Israel attacked us,
02:23equipped with the latest technology and weapon systems. And our people stood steadfast. Yes, they did hit us,
02:30but we did not bend the knee. We did not bow our head. We responded, but we did not hit
02:38civilian populations.
02:39They came into surrounding territories and targeted our universities, our health care centers, our schools, our hospitals, our infrastructures,
02:53all of it against international law. When I took over the responsibilities as president, they assassinated Ismail Hania in Iran
03:02on the day of my inauguration.
03:04Israel targets any neighborhood in any city in any province, commits assassinations like a true terrorist. In Gaza, over 80
03:14,000 innocent civilians have been murdered, brutally murdered.
03:20Hundreds of thousands have been displaced. They are committing genocide by using the so-called technologies that they have at
03:29their disposal. Then they label others as terrorists. Are we the sources of instability?
03:35We only seek to live independently. We are the ones who cause instability. Those who are committing terrorism and committing
03:44crimes, are they the protectors of peace and stability?
03:50None of the international laws have been adhered to by them. This is what we're facing.
03:57We're facing.
