Iran used its turn to respond ( through a translator ) to Israel in saying that the " representative of the Israeli regime made unfounded allegations by trying to deceive the world to distract public opinion from the hideous actions of his regime . The nature of the regime that is founded on occupation , violence , and terror can in no way be covered up by accusing others . " He said that Israel has " weapons of mass misinformation but in this information age it is becoming useless day-by-day . Instead of trying to deceive he should explain to the Assembly why it has invaded all of its neighbours and even beyond the region . It has waged over 15 wars in its lifetime . Why does it ignore tens of resolutions of this Assembly , as well as over 100 resolutions ? As he spoke today ... why does the state sponsor of terrorism continue such acts , including of supporting ISIS by providing arms and assistance ... sure this regime has an exceptional capability in committing all crimes , including genocide , crimes against humanity , war crimes and crimes of aggression , including oppression . It is exceptional in barbarity . It has an exceptional capability in killing women and children , destroying homes , schools , and hospitals . It has an exceptional capability in terrorism . He claimed his regime saves live around the world but why does it oppress Palestinians daily . Why does it jail and arrest thousands of Palestinians and why does it carry out a blockade against millions in the Gaza Strip . Does he think that by wearing white he can cover up his red hands ? Does he think the world forgets the Sabra and Shatila massacre ? He did not explain why the regime , despite its arsenal of conventional weapons , does it have chemical , biological and nuclear weapons . Why is it not a party to end weapons of mass destruction , in particular the NPT . Why does it reject the establish of a nuclear-free Middle East despite repeated calls by the UN , the international community and this Assembly over the past 30 years ? One question he was expected to answer is why his regime which is the only nuclear weapons possessor in the Middle East , hides behind the doctrine of strategic ambiguity . He shamelessly lectures the world on non-proliferation and accuses Iran , whose non-military nuclear capability has been approved by the IAEA . He tried to abuse this Assembly by only accusing others . He also tried to create anxiety over the JCPOA . " The session was then ended for the day
