UN’s Congratulatory Letter to Iran on the Anniversary of the Islamic Revolution: Dark, Even by UN Standards
By Steve Bonta
As if any more evidence were needed of the UN’s true nature, Secretary-General Antonio Guterres sent a letter to Iran Wednesday congratulating the blood-soaked Islamo-fascist regime on the anniversary of its founding. In the midst of an ongoing and unprecedented massacre of its own citizens for last month’s protest against the regime, Guterres congratulated Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and characterized the day as a time for Iran to reflect on the country’s role and contributions. And in a particularly ironic touch, he supposedly urged Iran to uphold peace, security, and human rights.
Even by UN standards, Guterres’ action is appalling. In two blood-soaked nights last month, January 8th and 9th, the Iranian government, with the help of Islamist mercenary militias, slaughtered tens of thousands of its own citizens, most of them young men, young women, and small children. Despite an internet blackout imposed before and during the horrific deed, videos of the atrocity have been leaking out, leaving no doubt as to the scale of the butchery, one of the most lethal short-term actions of any government against its own people in modern times. And the slaughter continues apace. Tens of thousands more are in prison awaiting execution, and the country remains on lockdown, with Iran’s secret police continuing to arrest hundreds every day. The images of human bodies stacked like cordwood outside mortuaries are among the most searing yet to emerge in this young century, and Iran, already a pariah among nations, seems bent on desolating its own populace rather than turning away from its reign of terror.
Nevertheless, Guterres’ United Nations has the backs of the Iranian mullahs and their Revolutionary Guard (IRGC) butchers. And in a final indignity, the UN has invited Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi to address the UN Human Rights Council in just two weeks.
Given all of this, along with the obvious preparations for U.S. military action to put an end to the Iranian regime, President Trump’s recent remarks to Politico in defense of the UN and its “tremendous potential” are utterly baffling. It is long past time for the United States to stop playing footsy with this globalist abomination, friend of communists, socialists, Islamists, terrorists, and democidal regimes of every stripe, and get out of the UN completely.
