Dr Aref: the international system faces unprecedented threats from unilateralism and the pursuit of superiority by a few countries

Dr Aref, Iran’s first vice-president, said the international system is facing unprecedented threats arising from unilateralism and the pursuit of superiority by a few countries.

He also outlined what he described as anti-humanitarian support and attacks on civilians and Iran’s infrastructure by the United States and the Zionist regime, saying that what happened during 40 days of brutal military aggression against Iran was not merely an attack on the Islamic Republic of Iran, but a direct assault on the foundations of the international legal order and the principle of the equality of states’ sovereignty.
