He said that during the UN General Assembly meeting, “the Islamic Republic of Iran presented a new view which believes that the present world is distant away from morality and spirituality, ignores divine religions and makes an instrumental use of human rights and democracy to practice hegemony over nations.”
The minister said westerners utilize information technology as well as prevalence of freedom of speech and democracy as a superior instrument to threaten the developing countries, “and in a new diplomatic move, the Islamic Republic of Iran could disarm the West through using a clear and transparent rationale and strong deductions.”
