The envoy called for the United States and the Zionist regime to be held accountable for their gross violation of the rules of international law and the non-proliferation regime.

Regarding Iran's proposed resolution to prohibit attacks on peaceful nuclear facilities of other countries, the envoy stated that a number of member states of the International Atomic Energy Agency that have close relations with Iran and other sponsors of the resolution, while strongly condemning the Zionist regime's aggressive attacks, have stated in separate contacts with Iran and other sponsors of the resolution that they are under severe pressure and threats from the United States not to vote in favor of the proposed resolution.
