Iran Showed Restraint for Two Months Amid Israeli Attacks – Russian UN Envoy
Sputnik – 02.10.2024
Iran has shown “exceptional” restraint for two months amid Israeli attacks, Russia’s UN envoy Vassily Nebenzia told a special meeting of the UN Security Council.
“A new victim of the Israeli war machine is Lebanon,” Nebenzia said. “After intense shelling of Lebanese cities, its southern neighbor launched a ground operation in that country.”
He added that Iran only took military action “after a series of political liquidations, including the assassination of Hamas Executive Council Head Haniyeh, Hezbollah Secretary General Nasrallah and a number of other leaders of movements opposing Israel,” and showed “exceptional restraint” for two months.
The Russian diplomat noted that statements from Western countries give the impression that “the only problem facing the Council is the response to Iran’s missile strike.”
“It is hard to imagine what role in the diplomatic process with such an assessment of the situation one can count on. It’s as if this all happened ‘in a vacuum’,” Nebenzia added. “As if nothing is happening and did not happen in Lebanon, Gaza, Syria, Yemen, which led to a new most dangerous round of the growing Middle East conflict.”
There is a strong impression that the US is negotiating the release of hostages held in Gaza and a ceasefire in the enclave with itself, the envoy noted.
“For the sake of its Middle East ally, Washington has already used its veto power five times in the Security Council and since the beginning of July has been deliberately trying to lead us all around by the nose,” Nebenzia charged, “publicizing its notorious ‘plan Biden’ and its quiet diplomacy to broker a deal between Hamas and Israel.”
“Frankly speaking, all this gives the impression that Washington is conducting these indirect negotiations with itself,” he added.
The UN Security Council may consider adopting new resolutions on Lebanon amid the escalating conflict in the region, and given the non-implementation of the 2006 resolution 1701 that was meant to keep the peace following Israel’s last invasion of the country.
“Right after the meeting, we will hold informal consultations and see what documents can be proposed by the members,” Nebenzia told reporters later.
When asked whether Tehran had warned Moscow before Israel’s attack, Nebenzia stressed that Iran is a sovereign state that makes its own decisions.

Is Israel Uniquely Evil?
By Irfan Chowdhury | Palestine Chronicle | July 18, 2020
… Israel has been carrying out the longest-running military occupation in modern history and the longest-running siege in modern history. These two facts alone render Israel unique in terms of the scope of its brutality and criminality.
There are other respects in which Israel stands out from other countries in its use of terror and violence; for example, it is one of the most aggressive countries in the world, having waged wars of aggression against Lebanon in 1978, 1982, 1993, 1996 and 2006, and against Gaza in 2004, 2006, 2008/9, 2012 and 2014, killing huge numbers of civilians in the process (all while issuing threats and carrying out various covert attacks against Iran, which are all in violation of the UN Charter). … continue

God forbid that peace should break out in the Mid-east or Ukraine.
With Russia refusing to fight the cold war, China refusing to invade anyone and N Korea staying on their side of the fence it is very difficult to spend $ trillions on weapons. We really try, planes that don’t fly, aircraft carriers the size of Manhattan and missiles that cost $millions and can’t hit the targets even when they manage to get off the launch pads, it is not easy to justify the money.
Should the world actually turn to peaceful relations (like those commie swine in BRICS want) then 30% of the US-UK economy would stop tomorrow. A few million people would be out of work, the profits from useless weapons would die up and thousands of rich people would no longer drive Bentleys or Ferraris. Unless of course they invested in “Renewable Energy” (thank you stupid taxpayers) or Vaccines (thank you really stupid taxpayers).
US No1 on the top 20 ; “Bomb, Bomb, Bomb Iran.” is really an economic necessity.
