Tehran attacks Israel, lambasts west's 'double standards' during UNHRC meeting on Iran protests

Iran's UN envoy dismisses the Human Rights Council's special session as a Western pressure tool, defends Tehran's deadly crackdown as legitimate counter-terrorism, and accuses sponsors of hypocrisy given their support for Israeli aggression and their own human-rights records. Ali Bahreini declares Iran is addressing the session "with utmost clarity and resolve" to "state facts and defend our people," immediately charging that the sponsors "have never genuinely cared for the human rights of Iranians" because they impose "inhuman sanctions" and supported Israeli military operations that killed and injured over 5,000 Iranians, dismissively calling these acts their "dirty job."
