    UN officials were seen escorting the Israeli ambassador Gilad Erdan out of the main hall after he staged a solo protest during Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi’s address.

    Before being spirited away, the diplomat was seen holding a photo of Mahsa Amini, who died last year after being arrested by Iran’s ‘morality police.’ The envoy demanded freedom for Iranian women.

    Hours after the incident, UN officials released a statement to clarify. “There was indeed an incident when the permanent representative of Israel walked down the aisle and unfurled a photo during the speech by the president of Iran in the general assembly,” an official said.

    The statement also mentioned that Erdan was never detained by UN officials and the incident was now considered “closed,” the Independent reported.

    Erdan did not stop there. He continued his virtual one-sided war of words with Iran’s Raisi, who he labelled as the “Butcher of Tehran.” He tweeted, “I will never stop fighting for the truth and I will always expose the UN’s moral distortions.”

    22-year-old Mahsa Amini died in an Iranian prison nearly one year ago. She was allegedly failing to wear her mandatory headscarf properly.
