Iran’s Foreign Ministry has issued a strong condemnation of Israel for resuming airstrikes on the Gaza Strip, describing the actions as a severe breach of the ceasefire agreement with the Hamas movement.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei denounced the widespread airstrikes, which he stated had targeted various areas across the southern, central, and northern regions of the Gaza Strip on Wednesday.
In his statement, Baghaei highlighted the targeting of tents housing Palestinian refugees. He asserted that these attacks resulted in the “martyrdom and injury of dozens of Palestinians, including many innocent children.”
The spokesperson referred to what he termed the “Zionist regime’s” history of “blatant violations of all legal and moral rules and norms.”
Baghaei stated that the attacks over the past 24 hours took place on the “direct orders of the regime’s Prime Minister.” He called the offensive a “gross violation of the ceasefire deal” and “another sign of the regime’s intention to continue its genocidal operations against the Palestinians.”
He issued a call for all governments to intervene to “stop the Zionist regime’s crimes” and to ensure that the “criminals” are tried and punished in compliance with the Genocide Convention.
The Foreign Ministry spokesman also pointed to the “continued gross violations of human rights and humanitarian law” in occupied Palestine, linking them to “comprehensive US support” for Israel.
Baghaei concluded by emphasizing the “special responsibility of the ceasefire guarantors” to curb what he described as the “Zionist regime’s war-mongering and genocide.
