Former US ambassador condemns Biden administration’s handling of Iran" title="Former US ambassador condemns Biden administration’s handling of Iran" />

David Friedman, the former US ambassador to Israel, has publicly criticized the Biden administration for its perceived leniency toward Iran. This comes in the wake of disturbing video showing an anti-Israel crowd in Russia and the Iranian ambassador chairing a UN Human Rights Council forum amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas.

Friedman has condemned Iran’s actions as a “massive national insult” to the US, citing the regime’s repeated attacks on US soil and its poor human rights record. He drew attention to the tragic case of Mahsa Amini and Armita Garawand, two young women who were arrested for not covering their faces properly and later died from their injuries. He also highlighted Iran’s brutal treatment of protesters and dissidents, including public executions.

Friedman was particularly critical of the U.S. handling of Iran’s foreign minister, who he alleges was granted safe entry to the U.S., protection and a platform at the United Nations to criticize the U.S. and Israel. He considers it outrageous that Iran, with its track record, now leads the Human Rights Council.

Friedman reminded us that during the Trump administration, the US chose to withdraw from the Human Rights Council, refusing to lend credibility to an entity it deemed unworthy. However, the Biden administration has opted to join the council, now chaired by Iran, a country Friedman describes as one of the world’s worst human rights offenders. He believes that this participation is undermining the national dignity of the USA

Despite executing two men accused of blasphemy, Iran won a senior position on the UN Human Rights Council in May. Over the next year, Iran will chair the Human Rights Council’s Social Forum, which focuses on using technology to promote human rights. The announcement came shortly after Iran executed two men for engaging in social media speech criticizing superstition and religion.

Meanwhile, US troops in the Middle East have seen an increase in attacks, a trend that may continue as the US supports Israel’s war effort against Hamas. In response to these attacks, US forces carried out airstrikes on facilities in eastern Syria last week, targeting a weapons depot and an ammunition storage area that believed to be using Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and affiliated groups.
