The Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Accra categorically rejects the recent remarks attributed to the representative of the Zionist regime concerning regional security and the Islamic Republic of Iran, published on 10 February 2026 on myjoyonline.com.
The distortion of history and the inversion of well-documented facts cannot be overlooked.
Attempting to portray Iran – a nation that has stood as a formidable bulwark against Takfiri terrorism, including ISIS – as a destabilising force is nothing more than a strategic deflection designed to divert public attention from the true roots of violence in West Asia.
Accusing others of the very crimes one is committing is, by any measure, a first-rate piece of bitter irony. While the Israeli envoy speaks of “stability” and “terrorism,” the realities on the ground and the rulings of international institutions tell a profoundly different story.
A regime that maintains the sole undeclared nuclear arsenal in the Middle East and steadfastly refuses to join the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) has positioned itself as a self-appointed authority, lecturing the international community on nuclear safety.
The Islamic Republic of Iran, by contrast, is a committed member of the NPT, and its peaceful nuclear activities are subject to the most rigorous inspections in the history of the International Atomic Energy Agency.
Drawing any equivalence between Iran’s lawful, fully monitored advancements and the weapons proliferation of a regime that operates entirely outside international norms is an affront to the global non-proliferation architecture.
A regime currently standing before the International Court of Justice on charges of the “crime of crimes” – genocide – presumes to lecture the world on morality and human rights. The international community is watching a regime that has violated more United Nations resolutions than any other entity in history.
A political entity that disregards the provisional and binding orders of the Hague Court has forfeited any moral standing to label others as “destabilising forces.”
Stability is born of adherence to international law, not of impunity in the killing of tens of thousands of innocent Palestinian women and children, nor of the bombardment of refugee camps, schools, hospitals, and civilian infrastructure across the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.
Furthermore, narratives that attribute regional instability to Iran deliberately ignore the fundamental reality of occupation. Stability is the fruit of justice, not the product of repression.
One cannot raze Gaza’s infrastructure to the ground, displace millions of human beings, and violate international borders, and then claim friendship with the survivors of those very policies.
The resistance witnessed across the region is the natural, indigenous response of peoples who have endured decades of occupation, dispossession, and the systematic denial of their sovereign rights; not some imported “proxy war” orchestrated from Tehran.
While the Israeli representative speaks of diplomatic relations, the world has not forgotten that this regime is the only actor in contemporary history to have bombed a diplomatic premises – the Iranian Embassy in Damascus – in flagrant violation of the Vienna Conventions.
A regime that respects neither the sanctity of diplomatic missions nor the lives of United Nations aid workers – more than 200 of whom have been killed in Gaza- cannot credibly present itself as a partner for peace.
The Islamic Republic of Iran reaffirms its enduring commitment to regional stability and its fraternal relations with the Republic of Ghana. We believe that a secure world is achieved not through the militarisation of diplomacy, but through the faithful implementation of international law and the definitive end of occupation.
We invite the alert and esteemed people of Ghana to look beyond the rhetoric of those who profit from war and to judge all actors by their practical adherence to the principles of justice and human dignity.
