Iran's FM Lashes Out at WEF for Revoking Davos Invitation Under US-Israeli Pressure
Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araqchi slammed the World Economic Forum (WEF) for rescinding its invitation to the top diplomat to attend the Davos summit in Switzerland, following Tehran's response to US- and Israeli-backed unrests which erupted in the country earlier this month.
Writing on X on Monday, Araqchi said the decision was made by WEF “on the basis of lies and political pressure from Israel and its US-based proxies and apologists".
The Forum's sudden reversal, announced Monday, directly cites the measures Iran took to restore order in the country following violent riots instigated by foreign-backed elements.The ranking diplomat had been scheduled to speak on Tuesday during the summit at the Swiss ski resort town.The Munich Security Conference also announced on Friday it was also withdrawing an invitation to Iran's foreign minister.
The foreign minister stressed that the Iranian government had to defend the people against “armed terrorists and Daesh-style killings openly backed by Mossad”.Araqchi stated that the forum’s decision came even though “Israel's genocide of Palestinians and mass slaughter of 71,000 innocent people did not compel it to cancel any invitation extended to Israeli officials whatsoever". If the forum wants to feign a supposedly "moral" stance, it should at least be consistent about it, because its “blatant double standard only conveys moral depravity and intellectual bankruptcy", he added.
