Veep: US, Zionist regime trying to sell arms by fearmongering

'Last week, we witnessed a view of the world at the UN General Assembly; on one side, there was a hawkish tendency that Trump and Netanyahu displayed and represented, and it looked that they were spreading panic to sell their arms and dominate the world,' Eshaq Jahangiri said, referring to the anti-Iran remarks by the US and the Zionist regime of Israel in the UN.

The 72nd session of the UN General Assembly is underway in the international body Headquarters in New York.

'On the other side, there were the independent countries committed to their own and their people's vote, and wanted to stand on their own feet,' Jahangiri added.

President Hassan Rouhani by his well-thought speech sent the message that Iran is seeking de-escalation, and is abiding by international law, he said.

Iran is looking for a world free from violence, extremism and terrorism, and its records of the past years is an evidence to the claim, the Iranian official added on the sidelines of IranPlast international exhibition.

The 11th International Exhibition of Plastics Rubber, Machinery and Equipment (IranPlast 2017) kicked off in Tehran on Sunday.

Some 600 domestic and 524 foreign companies from 23 countries have attended the international event.
