❗️Tehran slams UN rapporteur for whitewashing US and Israeli aggression against Iran Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei sharply condemned the UN Special Rapporteurship on the Situation of Human Rights in Iran, accusing the body of shielding Washington and Tel Aviv from international accountability. Writing on social media on Thursday, Baghaei criticized the recent presentation by UN Special Rapporteur Mai Sato to the General Assembly, characterizing the mechanism as a "politically motivated" mandate initiated by the UK to deflect from western and Israeli atrocities. The diplomatic response followed a UN report that sought to frame systemic human rights issues in Iran while downplaying the direct humanitarian toll of external military aggression and coercive sanctions imposed by the US and the Israeli occupation. Baghaei asserted that "exploiting the so-called Special Rapporteurship... to blame Iran for the crimes committed by the US and Israel amounts to nothing less than a deliberate attempt to whitewash aggression, atrocities, and unilateral coercive measures," calling the UN framing "deeply misleading and profoundly disingenuous."
