'Just Plain Wrong': UN Announces Which Conference Iran Will Preside Over This Spring

Last week, the United Nations announced the dates of the 2024 session of the Conference on Disarmament and explained that member states are chosen to preside over the meeting on a rotating, alphabetical basis. Thus, there’s nothing stopping the world’s biggest state sponsor of terrorism from heading up the conference, and that’s exactly what’s happening from March 18-29 and May 13-24, when Iran will take the helm.  

What’s on the docket this year? According to a news release: the “cessation of the nuclear arms race and nuclear disarmament; prevention of nuclear war, including all related matters; prevention of an arms race in outer space; effective international arrangements to assure non-nuclear-weapon States against the use or threat of use of nuclear weapons; new types of weapons of mass destruction and new systems of such weapons, radiological weapons; comprehensive programme of disarmament; and transparency in armaments.”

UN Watch’s Hillel Neuer put it best when he quipped that “having Ayatollah Khamenei preside over global nuclear weapons disarmament is like putting a serial rapist in charge of a women’s shelter.” 

Indeed, it sounds like it’s taken straight from the pages of The Babylon Bee as experts say Iran is getting closer to having nuclear weapons. 

“Though it may be drowned out due to all the other bad news out of the Middle East involving Iran, the regime is getting closer and closer to establishing itself as a threshold nuclear state,” the Foundation for Defense of Democracies’ Behnam Ben Taleblu told Fox News. “If anything, Iran seems to be capitalizing on all the mayhem in the Middle East, mayhem which Washington has failed to curb or manage well, to press ahead in what appears to be a quest for the ultimate deterrent.” 

Neuer said his watchdog group is urging all democracies to protest.
