to report «iusnews»; Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian said that the solution to restore security and stability to the Western Asia region is to stop the Israeli regime’s war machine in the besieged Gaza Strip.
Addressing a joint press conference with his Lebanese counterpart Abdallah Bou Habib in Beirut on Saturday, the Iranian minister underscored the glaring fact that the United States continues to send weapons to Israel in its brutal campaign in the besieged Gaza Strip.
Amir Abdollahian also highlighted the irony in that Washington speaks about finding a political solution to the crisis in the Palestinian territory.
Pointing to his “good” negotiations with the Lebanese officials on bilateral and regional issues, the top diplomat added Tehran and Beirut have always been against the expansion of war in the region and believe it is not a solution to the Palestinian issue.
He said the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas has acted “wisely and carefully” both in fighting the crimes of Israel and pursuing a political path.
“It is clear to the world that more than four months of war in Gaza and the West Bank have led to no tangible result for Israel and its supporters,” he continued.
Israel has been carrying out heavy bombardment across the Gaza Strip since early October, killing more than 28,000 Palestinians, including thousands of children and women, and wounding nearly 68,000 others, and levelling entire neighbourhoods. Thousands more are missing and feared buried under the rubble.
Tel Aviv has also imposed a "complete siege" on Gaza, cutting off food, electricity, fuel and water supplies. The move has plunged the blockaded territory into a humanitarian crisis.
American and European officials have promised rock-solid and unwavering support to Tel Aviv. In recent months, President Joe Biden, French President Emmanuel Macron, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and several others European leaders visited Tel Aviv to show their support for Israel. Tehran says the Western leaders' trips to the occupied territories are aimed at giving artificial respiration to Israel and demonstrate the US' and Europe's concerns over the downfall of the Zionist regime.
The United States has been providing Israel with unconditional military and political support in its onslaught against Gaza, arming Tel Aviv with more than 10,000 tons of military hardware. The US has also torpedoed the prospect of cessation of the Israeli aggression by stonewalling ratification of all UN Security Council resolutions that have been calling for a permanent ceasefire in the Israeli assault.
Iranian officials say the United States is waging a war on Palestinians in the Gaza Strip through Israel, and stress 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 blockaded territory.
The UK government’s diplomatic backing, military aid and direct involvement in the conflict - through giving intelligence to the Israelis - has also made it complicit in facilitating genocide. The UK military has carried out some 50 spy missions over the Gaza Strip for the Israeli regime since last month, a new investigation has revealed.
Bou Habib, for his part, said Tehran and Beirut agree that all countries should make efforts to stop the ongoing onslaught in Gaza and dispatch humanitarian aid to the war-stricken Palestinians.
The Lebanese foreign minister added in talks with his Iranian counterpart, the two sides discussed the necessity to implement UN Security Council Resolution 1701 on stability in Lebanon.
