Iran's Controversial Role in the United Nations Human Rights Council Sparks Outrage and Condemnation

Former U.S. Ambassador to Israel, David Friedman, criticized the Biden administration for not pressuring Iran as the regime assumes the chair of the U.N. Human Rights Council Social Forum amid the Israel-Hamas conflict. Friedman highlighted Iran's human rights abuses, including the recent deaths of two women for not properly covering their faces, the shooting of protesters, and public executions of dissenters. He expressed outrage that Iran, one of the worst offenders of human rights, is now leading the Human Rights Council. Friedman argued that the U.S. participation in this charade is a massive national insult and a loss of dignity.
