Persistent Israeli Strikes on Gaza Threatening Regional Peace, Iran Says
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry warned that the continuation of the Zionist regime’s brutal onslaught against the Gaza Strip will pose a serious risk to peace in the entire region.
Speaking to reporters at a weekly press conference on Monday, Nasser Kanaani cautioned the Israeli regime that the continuation of its heinous crimes against Palestinian people in Gaza will threaten regional peace.
“It is the world’s collective responsibility to confront the Zionists’ measures,” he said.
The Iranian spokesman also raised the alarm that any scenario will be possible if the Zionist regime’s inhuman policies against Palestine continue.
“The resistance across the region won’t shut its eyes to the crimes committed by the Zionists,” Kanaani stated.
Reaffirming Iran’s support for the Palestinian nation, the spokesman said Tehran has ramped up its political and international activities to end the Israeli bombardment of Gaza. “The top and overriding priority is to end the ruthless massacres in the Gaza Strip and the humanitarian siege of the enclave.”
Since the Palestinian Hamas movement carried out the Al-Aqsa Storm operation outside Gaza on October 7, Israeli air strikes have killed more than 2,670 people – a quarter of them children – and wounded nearly 10,000 others in Gaza, where a catastrophic humanitarian crisis is unfolding.
The United Nations estimates one million people – nearly half of Gaza’s population – have been forced from their homes, as the Israeli regime’s military prepares for an expected ground invasion.
