MADRID (IRNA) -- Iran's Ambassador to Spain Davud Salehi here Wednesday criticized the performance of Western countries on Iran's peaceful nuclear case, saying it runs counter to democracy.

""Under the current unstable situation in the world, the Islamic Republic of Iran faces challenges with the arrogant system led by the U.S.,"" he said.
He added, ""The U.S., European Union, developing countries and certain Western states are all in one front while Iran, which calls for establishment of justice for success of Muslims, is on the other side.""
The envoy noted that the arrogant system has caused more poverty, injustice and discrimination in the world
