to report «iusnews»; Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian blasted Washington’s all-out support for the Israeli regime amid the genocidal war on Gaza, and said that the US does not give any credit to human rights.
Amir Abdollahian made the remarks during a visit to Swiss city of Geneva for a meeting of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
He told reporters that the war in the besieged Gaza Strip could easily get out of control and engulf the whole region if the Israeli aggression is not stopped.
Iran’s top diplomat lamented the unfortunate timing of the Geneva event to commemorate 75 years of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights at a time when the world is witnessing “genocide” in Gaza.
“We are witnessing genocide in Palestine, and worse, the United States, which is the host of and home to the headquarters of the United Nations in New York, single-handedly vetoed the resolution to stop the massacre of women and children,” he added.
The United States on Friday used its veto power in the UN Security Council to block a draft resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.
At least 18,200 people have been killed in the besieged territory with over 50,000 people wounded since the start of the war. According to Gaza’s Health Ministry, 70 percent of victims of Israeli assault on the blockaded territory are women and children. Thousands more are missing and feared buried under the rubble.
American and Israeli officials have suggested throughout the war that the coastal territory might not be ruled by Hamas in the aftermath of the military campaign.
The movement, which has been ruling the territory since 2006 on the back of its victory in democratic elections, has, however, vowed to withstand the campaign, stressing it can defend the besieged strip despite the ferocious onslaught for months.
Iranian officials say the Palestinian resistance movements do not face a shortage in munitions and other military equipment, and are ready for a long battle with Israel and they are currently considering various options in response to the Zionist regime's act of aggression and relentless bombardment of the Gaza Strip.
Following the Hamas military operation against Israel in early October, American officials promised rock-solid and unwavering support to Tel Aviv. The US has also pledged unwavering support for Israel as its military pummels Gaza with bombardment, announcing it will provide Tel Aviv with everything it needed. Washington has also deployed two aircraft carrier strike groups to the Mediterranean, as well as an amphibious assault ship carrying 2,000 sailors and marines.
Iranian officials say the United States is waging a war on Palestinians in the Gaza Strip through Israel, and caution that the current status in West Asia resembles a powder keg which could spiral out of control. They stress the death of thousands of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip is the outcome of the US massive military equipment’s shipments to the occupied territories, calling for the trial of Israeli and American officials for their crimes against the Palestinian people. They note If Washington’s political and military aid to Zionists is cut off, the regime won’t be able to proceed its military campaign against the besieged strip.
Tehran says the history of Israel is full of assassinations, massacre, torture and killing of Palestinian kids, and describes Tel Aviv regime's atrocities and massacre of Palestinian women and children as indicative of the destitute of Zionists. Iranian officials say Tel Aviv has been struggling for more than 70 years to exit its identity crisis which has been mixed with genocide, plunder, forced displacement and scores of other inhumane moves.
