Raisi, dubbed the "'Butcher of Tehran," is under US sanctions over his involvement in the mass execution of thousands of political prisoners in 1988." He spoke at the 35 International Conference for Islamic Unity, attended by delegations from 52 countries.
"Global arrogance has supported weak governments in the Muslim world in order to realize its interests and the interests of the Zionist entity," Raisi said.
On Monday, Raisi said he believes the nuclear talks with six major powers should be "result-oriented."
"We are serious about result-oriented negotiations. ... If Americans are serious, they should remove unjust sanctions on Iran," Raisi told state TV.
