“As we meet today, the UN Charter — the UN Charter’s very basis of a stable and just rule-based order is under attack by those who wish to tear it down or distort it for their own political advantage,” the US leader said.
“[The US] invaded Afghanistan, Iraq, right after that, killed hundreds of thousands of people, destroyed those countries,” says Christopher C Black, an international criminal lawyer, while commenting on Biden’s remarks. “They've attacked Libya and destroyed that, murdered [Muammar] Gadhafi. They hang Saddam Hussein. They'd respect nobody's sovereignty. They kept referring to sovereignty, but they don't care about anybody's sovereignty.”
"The decline of this old order is inevitable. Our region, West Asia, from Afghanistan to Iraq, Lebanon, Palestine and proud Iran, is a great museum of the decline of this old order," Raisi said.
“No, the Iranians in particular will be totally ignored here,” Black said. “The only thing they mentioned today on CNN, I noticed, was Iran's statement that they want to get justice for the murder by the United States of General Soleimani in Iraq a couple of years ago. And that's a murder that Biden didn't apologize for.”
