Tehran – Iran’s Foreign Ministry has issued a sharp responsibilities from the international community for not stopping Israel’s ongoing war on genocide in the Gaza Strip, criticizing Western countries for enabling destruction through ongoing military support.
Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Esmaeir Bagaei expressed his condemnation of Tehran in a statement posted on social media platform X on Saturday. He denounced the inaction of global actors in the face of what was called a systematic campaign of mass hunger and indiscriminate murders launched by Israel since October 2023.
“Palestinians are starving to death while being bombed simultaneously with the most advanced American and German-made weapons,” Baghey wrote, accusing Israel and its western allies of coordinating the war of double hunger and firepower.
He further stated that the so-called aid distribution point (established in response to increased malnutrition in Israel and the United States) would become a “death trap.”
“The patient is almost dying without drugs. The food line will turn into an ambush site,” he added, calling for a deliberate attack and situation on Gaza civilians.
Baghaei said that nearly two years of nonstop artillery ravaged the territory, killing or wounding more than 200,000 people, damaging the population, and 90% of the Gaza Strip cannot live.
“The world must move beyond hollow condemnation,” he urged. “Specific action is needed. We need to implement an immediate arms embargo against the prosecution of the Israeli regime and its war criminals.”
Iranian officials also recalled a brief ceasefire mediated in November 2023 between Israeli and Palestinian resistance group Hamas. He said the deal had not been renewed after expiration and Israel had chosen to escalate its military campaign in Gaza.
Iran has consistently held a voice critic of Israel’s military operations in Gaza, calling for legal accountability and international sanctions in response to the humanitarian crisis.
Since October 7, 2023, Israeli war in Gaza has led to the deaths of at least 60,000 Palestinians, with children accounting for more than 18,000 casualties. Thousands are still trapped under the tile rub, dead in fear.
Gaza’s health ministry reports that only starvation has killed 162 people, including 92 children.
