TEHRAN (Iran News) Iran’s UN mission on Saturday posted an article on its X account, titled “Unchecked Israeli Aggressions During US Transition Risk Catastrophic Global Consequences”.

What follows is the full text of the article:

Israel constitutes a grave and immediate threat to regional and global peace and security. The regime is hell-bent on provoking a large-scale war across the region, and should it go unrestrained during the United States’ presidential transition period, the consequences will be catastrophic -not only for the Middle East but for the entire world.

Over the past 76 years, during which the illegitimate and usurping Israeli entity has occupied the land of the Palestinian people, it has never faced such widespread hatred at the regional level, within the Islamic world, and across the international community. Nor has it ever imposed such significant costs on the United States as it does now.

But what is the main root cause of this hatred?

Well, in the briefest terms, the core element lies in the regime’s accumulation of crimes over seven decades, most notably over the past thirteen months. It has shown no respect for human rights -burning people alive; no regard for international law- committing one of history’s greatest genocides in a specific location and period; no adherence to the rulings of the International Court of Justice -persisting in war crimes; no compliance with Security Council and General Assembly resolutions; and no responsibility toward the United Nations -declaring the Secretary-General persona non grata, insulting UN bodies, violating the Charter’s principles, and literally shredding it during a General Assembly session.

If one had described the true nature of the regime, particularly its current rulers, in such terms a few years ago, it might have been difficult for those outside the Middle East, with less awareness of the regime’s savagery, to believe. However, what the people of the world have witnessed over the past thirteen months is unprecedented in history; few awakened consciences can indeed remain silent in the face of it or not feel shame at the suffering of the people of Gaza, and subsequently Lebanon.

As the current rulers of the regime perceive their survival in the expansion of war and directly dragging the United States into it, they are attempting to exploit the current political climate in the United States to pave the way for the formulation of a new crisis. This malevolent ambition, which will lead to further bloodshed, must not be allowed to materialize.

Without prosecuting and holding Netanyahu and his extremist, warmongering, and criminal cabinet accountable, security will not return to the region. If he is dethroned or restrained:

1. A ceasefire will be established in Gaza, humanitarian aid will reach all areas of Gaza, and the killing of the people in Gaza—whether through bombardment, famine and starvation—will cease;

2. The war on Lebanon will end, UNIFIL will continue its mandate, and Resolution 1701 will be fully implemented;

3. Maritime security and tranquility will return to the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden;

4. With the cessation of the occupying regime’s adventurism, the shadow of war will be lifted from the countries of the region;

5. Hate speech against Jews and Muslims will cease, and the crimes of Zionism will no longer be attributed to the Jewish faith;

6. The political credibility of the U.S. government and the taxpayers’ money will no longer be further eroded in the course of supporting crimes against humanity; and

7. The hundreds of billions of dollars in war expenditures and the resulting damages will be redirected toward fostering growth and improving health, nutrition, and education for the people of the region.
