Iran’s president stood before world leaders and made a stunning claim. He told the United Nations that his country has “been the victim of terrorism”. This speech happened on a Wednesday in New York. He blamed the United States and Israel for the chaos in the Middle East. But the facts tell a different story. The New York Post reports he is the leader of a nation that funds terror groups worldwide. He asked the room to believe he is the victim. The receipts show he is the villain.
He held up a picture of his slain Supreme Leader. He even blamed an American bomb for a school strike that killed 120 children. The only American delegate at the meeting walked out in protest. This was not an accident. He wants you to feel sorry for him. He wants you to forget who pays the bills for the terror in the region. The gap between his words and his actions is too wide to ignore.
While Iran lied, President Trump spoke with total clarity. The Daily Wire notes his address cut through the usual diplomatic noise. He laid out his attempts to negotiate with the clerical regime. The regime said no every single time. They dragged their feet and played games. The Islamic Republic is the primary force compelling Trump to act, he made clear. They force his hand as Commander in Chief.
Trump warned that Iran’s missiles could reach continental Europe. He said ignoring these threats would let Tehran attack the U.S. homeland. The U.S. has blocked Iranian crude exports through a maritime blockade. Tough sanctions are cutting off their illicit money networks. This one-two punch stops them from moving cash. It handicaps their ability to buy weapons. The leverage is now firmly in American hands.
Pezeshkian said the U.S. president called them terrorists. He claimed, “We have been the victims of terrorism.The world was also cautioned that we shall never lower our heads or kneel. Then he threatened that “we will have to live in insecurity together. These are not the words of a victim. They are the words of a bully. He told the UN that Tehran cannot be forced to surrender. He demands the U.S. meet his terms first.
He tried to paint a picture of peace while funding war. “We either all live in security, or we will have to live in insecurity together,” he said. But his own actions create the insecurity. He funds groups that kill children and attack neighbors. He cannot have it both ways. You cannot fund terror and then cry victim when the bill comes due. Reports show his regime executes teenage protesters. Rights groups say they were victims of a brutal crackdown. The truth is right there for everyone to see.
How many more lies will we hear from this regime? They want to use the UN to shield their crimes. They want to drain our money while threatening our safety. The Daily Wire says the choice is Tehran’s, not Trump’s.
