Following the killing of hundreds of protesters by the Iranian regime, outrage is accompanying potential Senate action to ban future U.N. visits by Iran President Ebrahim Raisi who sponsored planned assassinations of American citizens. Raisi arrived in New York City on Monday and is expected to speak Tuesday afternoon.
"There’s no reason to allow Raisi, ‘the butcher of Iran,’ who has the blood of innocent Americans, Iranians and others on his hands, to come to New York to spew his nonsense at the podium where he and other representatives from the Islamic Republic have come annually to disrespect the U.S. and our ally, Israel, to spin the narrative and tell lies about Iran’s egregious human rights records and nuclear weapons ambitions," Lisa Daftari, editor-in-chief of The Foreign Desk, told Fox News Digital.
The Trump administration sanctioned Raisi for his role in carrying out the massacre of 5,000 Iranian political prisoners in 1988 and the clerical regime’s slaughter of 1,500 Iranian demonstrators in 2019.
