America’s ridiculous anti-Iranian meeting started a few hours ago to cancel Tehran’s membership in the United Nations Women’s Commission under the pretext of supporting Iranian women and aligning with rioters and disrupting people’s security. Washington presented the draft political resolution to end Iran’s membership in the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women in the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) in New York to make a decision on this matter.

It should be noted that the political decision of this institution is against Iran, despite the completely negative view of Saudi Arabia towards women, such an institution has not yet excluded Riyadh from its membership, or after the dismemberment of Jamal Khashoggi in the consulate of this country. In Istanbul in 2018, on the direct order of “Mohammed bin Salman”, no strong decision was taken against Saudi Arabia. On the other hand, such institutions have not taken a strong and deterrent position against the countless crimes of the Zionist regime against women and children in the occupied territories during the decades of aggression and occupation of this regime.
