The U.S.-led international order is rapidly fading and Western-style capitalism is being “relegated to obsolescence,” a defiant Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi said Tuesday, using a speech to the United Nations General Assembly to predict that the post-World War II global framework is in the midst of a historic shift.
In a fiery address at the U.N.’s annual meeting in New York, the hardline Iranian leader challenged President Biden to “choose a path” in its nuclear negotiations with Iran. His comments came just two days after Iran reportedly banned U.N. inspectors from key nuclear sites across the Islamic republic, underscoring the difficulties that U.S. and European governments say they routinely encounter when dealing with Iran’s suspect nuclear programs.
“The true nature of the liberal democracy project has become evident to the world, revealing it to be nothing more than a velvet glove hiding a cast iron hand,” Mr. Raisi said of the U.S. and its allies. Mr. Raisi seemed to leave open the door to more diplomacy, including a resurrection of the nuclear deal, though he blamed its demise solely on the U.S. and offered little in the way of specifics on the pathway to a new agreement.
On Tuesday, the U.S. imposed new sanctions on seven people and four companies in China, Russia and Turkey who officials allege are connected with the development of Iran’s drone program.
