News Delhi, 16 September 2025. Ali Bahraini, Iran’s Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the United Nations Office in Geneva, Switzerland, has condemned the Israeli regime’s military aggression against Qatar, warning that if the international community remains inactive, this aggression and expansionism will spread like a “cancerous tumor,” threatening the security of the entire region.
According to Iran's government news agency IRNA, in a speech during the emergency session of the UN Human Rights Council on Tuesday, Bahraini said, “This aggression sends a clear message—not just about a regime with a history of systematic genocide and repeated acts of aggression, but as a serious warning to all of us. Our inaction and failure to uphold legal and moral principles have allowed a sinister entity to destroy global order and security.”
Bahraini added, “This apartheid regime does not adhere to international law, does not understand the principles of civilized nations, and does not believe in negotiation, peace, or stability. The two-week cessation of violence and genocidal operations by the Israeli regime only occurred when the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran intervened. If the international community does not respond decisively, Israel’s aggression and expansionism will continue unabated, spreading like a cancer and threatening all countries in the region. We must protect our people and humanity by any means necessary.”
The Iranian ambassador emphasized, “We reiterate our full solidarity with the people and government of Qatar and support all plans and initiatives aimed at holding Israel accountable.”
An emergency session of the UN Human Rights Council for reviewing the Israeli regime’s military aggression against the state of Qatar took place on Tuesday at the UN headquarters in Geneva. This session was convened at the request of a group of Islamic countries and the government of Qatar in response to the Israeli regime’s attack on Qatari soil on September 9.
