An allied diplomat at the United Nations resigned from his positions on Friday and levelled allegations against the international body, claiming that it was preparing for a scenario of 'possible nuclear weapon use'.

Mohamad Safa, the main representative of Patriotic Vision or PVA at the United Nations, announced his resignation through a post on X accompanied by a letter detailing his reasoning behind the decision.

He said that he took the decision after 'much reflection' and claimed that some seniors at the UN were 'serving a powerful lobby'.

Safa alleged that top UN officials 'refuse to describe what is happening in Gaza as genocide, what is happening in Lebanon as war crimes and ethnic cleansing, that the war on Iran is illegal under international law, that Iran posed no imminent threat to world peace'.

He also claimed being censored at the UN, not by the body itself but by some senior officials who he said 'abuse their power to serve that lobby'.

Safa did not name any officials in his letter.
