Head of Iran Medical Council has criticized the United Nations chief Ban Ki-moon for his silence over the US-led ban on medicine sales to the Islamic Republic. In a letter on Tuesday to Ban, Shahaboddin Sadr described as “inhuman” the US-engineered ban by Western and European countries on sales of medications and medical equipment to Iran. He added, “It [the ban] reveals the countenance of tyrants … and confirms the point that Iran’s peaceful nuclear energy [program] is just a pretext for inhuman plunder of and onslaught against the Iranian people and the Islamic Revolution”. Sadr asked the UN chief, “Mr. Ban Ki-moon! Here is my question: On the basis of which law and which moral, religious and human criterion, are the evil powers and arrogant countries imposing embargoes on the supply of medications and primary healthcare requirements of a nation’s children, women and men while the United Nations, which is headed by you, remains silent?”. “I have another question: Will a United Nations whose Security Council, according to the Leader of the Islamic Revolution [Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei], suffers from an illogical, non-democratic and dictatorial structure, be able to give security to the world nations and people?” Iranian health authorities say recent illegal unilateral sanctions, led by the US and the EU, have made it impossible to obtain medications needed for some diseases.
