The world's leading state sponsor of terror, Iran, used a UN General Assembly meeting on the UN's global counter-terrorism strategy to legitimize and promote more terror. Speaking on July 7, 2016 Iran said:
"Iran opposes any attempt to equate the legitimate struggle of peoples under colonial or alien domination and foreign occupation, for self-determination and national liberation, with terrorism. Such equation is aimed at prolonging occupation of the territories and oppression of their people."
