Sept 14, Tehran — Iranian president PEZESHKIAN, speaking at a Tehran event,
accused Western "human-rights defenders" of hypocrisy. He challenged whether
cutting off water and food or bombing civilians can be called counterterrorism,
asking if civilians in Gaza who lack food and water are terrorists. He said the
West bullies weaker states and has helped create "terrorist governments," and
pledged Iran will not yield to external pressure.
