Mohamad Safa, a diplomat and long‑time UN representative for the Patriotic Vision Association (PVA), resigned from his role, accusing the United Nations of preparing for the possible use of nuclear weapons in Iran.Safa, who served as PVA’s main representative at the United Nations for nearly 12 years, announced his resignation on X on Sunday, stating that he could no longer continue in his role “at a time when the UN is preparing for possible nuclear weapon use in Iran.”Sharing a photograph of Tehran, he highlighted the human cost of such an attack. “This is a picture of Tehran. For you uneducated, untraveled, never-served, warhawks licking your chops at the thought of bombing it. It’s not some low population desert. There are families, children, family pets. Regular working class people with dreams. You’re sick to want war. Tehran is a city of nearly 10,000,000 people. Imagine nuking Washington, Berlin, Paris, London, or beyond, bombed with nuclear weapons.”“I gave up my diplomatic career to leak this information. I suspended my duties so as not to be part of or a witness to this crime against humanity, in an attempt to prevent a nuclear winter before it is too late,” he added.He urged urgent global attention and action, warning, “The possibility of the use of nuclear weapons must be taken very seriously. It’s dangerous. Act now. Spread this message worldwide. Take the streets. Protest for our humanity and future. Only the people can stop it. History will remember us.”Safa warned that the situation in the Middle East is being underestimated and called for urgent global attention to prevent catastrophic consequences, emphasising the broader implications of nuclear conflict, including widespread destruction and a potential “nuclear winter.”In a previous post, Safa expressed concerns about the United Nations itself, alleging that certain senior figures are “serving a powerful lobby and not the UN.” He added that he would step away from all UN committees and groups he was associated with.His resignation comes amid reports that the United States is preparing for a possible expansion of its military operations in Iran. Plans reportedly range from limited, targeted ground raids to a broader deployment of troops, even as the White House publicly maintains that no final decision has been made. Analysts note that this reflects a widening gap between operational readiness on the ground and cautious messaging from Washington, with officials signalling both restraint and the possibility of escalation within the same breath.
