Araghchi elaborates on his Davos participation cancellation

“WEF cancelled my appearance in Davos on the basis of lies and political pressure from Israel and its U.S.-based proxies and apologists,” Araghchi wrote on his X account on Tuesday.

“There is one fundamental truth to the recent violence in Iran: We had to defend our people against armed terrorists and ISIS-style killings openly backed by Mossad,” he added.

“The sad irony: Israel’s genocide of Palestinians and mass slaughter of 11,000 innocent people have not compelled WEF to cancel any invitation extended to Israeli officials whatsoever. In fact, Herzog even did a victory lap in Davos as early as January 2024, even as he faced criminal charges in Switzerland for unfolding Genocide in Gaza,” he noted.

“WEF wants to feign a supposedly ‘moral’ stance, that is its prerogative but it should at least be consistent about it. The current blatant double standard only conveys moral depravity and intellectual bankruptcy,” he stated.

“People have the right to know the truth and judge for themselves. Shame is solely reserved for those who think otherwise,” Araghchi said./irna
