RNA – Speaking at a national conference on the September 22nd terrorist attack in the ‎southwestern Iranian city of Ahvaz, Ayatollah Abbas Ka’bi, the representative of the people ‎of Khuzestan province in the Assembly of Experts, said that this terrorist attack symbolizes ‎the human rights of the United States and it was undoubtedly a terrorist attack in the terms ‎of all treaties and international obligations.‎

The member of the Society of Seminary Teachers of Qom added, “There are four principles ‎in the international laws of war and international animosity and none of them were observed ‎in the terrorist attack in Ahvaz.”‎

He said that the terrorist attack in Ahvaz doesn’t have any military value and explained, ‎‎“These exercises, with the presence of the people, aren’t considered as having a military ‎purpose and this attack was committed against unarmed people and parade goers and the ‎United Nations Security Council, the secretary-general of the UN, European countries and ‎human rights defenders all condemned the attack as a terrorist operation.”‎

Ayatollah Ka’bi arguing that the United States, as the rotating president of the UN Security ‎Council, condemned the terrorist attack in Ahvaz and noted, “How can the United States ‎condemn the terrorist attack in Ahvaz on one hand and, on the other hand, support the ‎terrorists militarily and through the media? If these statements are honest, the programs of ‎the separatist groups must be shut down and handed over to the Islamic Republic via the ‎international police.”‎

His Eminence said that the United States accepts and rejects the resolutions of the UN ‎Human Rights Council on the basis of its desires and interests and added, “The nature and ‎face of American human rights are based on unlimited crime and oppression against ‎countries and today, this is point of decline and the Achilles’ heel of the United States.”‎

Pointing out that the crimes and attacks by the terrorists are fomented by the claimant of ‎human rights, the United States, he said, “The Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution ‎‎[Ayatollah Khamenei] emphasized that the human rights of the United States must be ‎explicitly discussed because duality of the United States is inadequate in the standards of ‎human rights.” ‎

Arguing that the United States condemns the terrorist attack on the one hand, and on the ‎other hand and assists them on the other hand, Ayatollah Ka’bi said, “The American duality in ‎human rights in all areas is clear to everyone.”‎

On September 22, four gunmen attacked a military parade in Ahvaz, killing at least 25 ‎people and wounding 69 others. The al-Ahwaziyah Takfiri terrorist group claimed ‎responsibility for the attack.‎
