Iran’s Ambassador and Chargé d’Affaires to the United Nations Gholamhossein Darzi has criticised the silence of the Western members of the UN Security Council regarding crimes committed by the US and Israel against Iran, state-run IRNA reports.

He wondered why the UNSC was concerned about the absence of nuclear inspectors in Iran, while Israel, “possessing approximately 200 nuclear warheads, remains outside the IAEA safeguards” and should be the “real cause for concern”.

“Israel possesses nuclear weapons, yet your concern is the absence of inspectors in Iran,” he said.
