Zarif blasts Trump for seeking to hijack UNSC session to hit out at Iran
Tehran (KNA) - Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has blasted US President Donald Trump for attempting to hijack an upcoming United Nations Security Council meeting during the annual gathering of world leaders to turn it to an anti-Iran event.
In a Twitter post on Wednesday, Zarif said Trump is seeking to "abuse" the presidency of the Security Council to divert a session, which has been devoted to Palestine for decades in a bid to blame Iran for horrors the United States and its clients have unleashed across the Middle East.
Zarif said the US had already violated the only UNSC resolution on Iran, referring to Resolution 2231 that endorses the 2015 nuclear deal between Tehran and six world powers-- the US, the UK, France, China, Russia and Germany.
