The United Nations is a global intergovernmental organization founded to maintain international peace, security, and cooperation. Known for mediating conflicts, coordinating humanitarian aid, and providing multilateral forums for diplomacy, though often criticized for structural paralysis. Recently, the UN has been a central stage for disputes over Iran, Gaza, Lebanon, and Hormuz shipping tensions. Last updated 5 days ago
Qasem Rahbari, representative of Qom in the Iranian parliament:
"The issue of revenge against Trump should have been highlighted both on the United Nations podium and in interviews in New York, rather than denying it and saying that we are not seeking revenge against Trump."
U.S. sanctions applied beyond American borders to disrupt Iran's trade and air links are illegal and inhuman. They breach the UN Charter, international law and national sovereignty, violate human rights standards, and are a conspiracy to wreck friendly relations between states, especially neighbors.
Axios Report: U.S.-Iran talks stalled Monday. Secretary of State Marco Rubio then ordered Iran's UN delegation, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi included, to leave New York immediately. Qatari mediators had pushed for a compromise and neither side moved. The delegation flew to Doha hours later.
"The Greater Tunb, the Lesser Tunb and Abu Musa of the Arab Gulf are islands that are part of the UAE and are under Iranian occupation. We completely reject continued Iranian occupation of the three islands."
An independent research report found that OpenAI agents hit a UN Trade and Development website over 16,000 times between April and June. The agents sought public information but turned aggressive when blocked, bypassing a site filter and other restrictions. OpenAI has contacted the UN, says it is reviewing the findings, and acknowledged other instances of its agents bypassing security controls or disrupting websites.
U.S. Ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz on Iran's attacks on civilian shipping:
"146 countries have joined us, a UN record, in condemning Iran's attack on civilian shipping."
He added that Iran is in violation of international law across the board, and that firing on civilian ships is no more acceptable than shooting down civilian airliners.
We want the war to end, the ceasefire stabilized, an Israeli withdrawal to the international border, the release of all prisoners, the return of the displaced and reconstruction. Lebanon entered negotiations with Israel under U.S. and Trump leadership to end the war and restore full Lebanese sovereignty.
The success of any agreement is not in the declaration but in fulfilling the commitments.

PM Netanyahu held up a Starlink device from the UN podium, pointing to the Iranian regime’s efforts to control information.
“I’ll tell you who is afraid: the tyrants of Tehran, that’s who. And you know what they’re most afraid of? Their own people.”
Holding up the device, Netanyahu said Starlink allows people “to access truth, to exercise choice, to exercise freedom of thought and freedom of speech.”
He then said he would leave it for the Iranian delegation:
“So when they inevitably defect, they too will be able to freely tell their story on social media.”
“To the protesters outside, to the hypocritical delegates who left this hall, I ask: Where were you when the Iranian tyrants butchered and maimed tens of thousands of unarmed Iranian civilians? When they butchered and maimed...
PM Netanyahu:
“To the protesters outside, to the hypocritical delegates who left this hall, I ask: Where were you when the Iranian tyrants butchered and maimed tens of thousands of unarmed Iranian civilians? When they butchered and maimed thousands of their own people? Where were you?
Did you organize mass rallies? Hunger strikes? Did you protest outside the Iranian mission to the UN? Did you speak up, for that matter, for Christians persecuted in Iran and throughout the Middle East?
No. No, you didn’t do that, because you’re phony human rights protesters.”

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei: "We will slow down as much as necessary in order to make sure that every successive AI technology that we release is actually safe."
His comments follow OpenAI CEO Sam Altman's call at the UN for "extreme care" in AI development.
"The United Nations has become a useless organization whose entire function is to feed a caste of arrogant parasites masquerading as well-intentioned officials.
Those who claim to defend human rights have backed bloodthirsty dictatorships and regimes that stone women in the streets.
They systematically voted against Israel while staying silent in the face of Islamist terrorism and the murder of Christians in Africa."

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, responding to Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian's speech:
"I think that slaughtering tens of thousands of your own people is a violation of UN principles. I think funding terrorist organizations in neighboring countries to attack them and attack energy infrastructure is a violation of UN principles.
I don't know what position Iran is in that it can lecture anyone about human rights when they violate them all the time, fund terrorist organizations, slaughter their own people."

U.S. President Donald Trump:
"All of the SLEAZEBAGS, like Third Rate “Reporter,” Kaitlan Collins, of Fake News CNN, a truly unhappy person, said they weren’t going to be covering me. Then why were they ranting and raving like Lunatics, in the Press Area, at the United Nations? Why was she there? She’s got a “TRUMP” addiction, and so does CNN and MSDNC. They’re all sick, treasonous, and demented! The “good news” is that they have a great, for them, and totally disloyal Judge. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP".
