The Iranian Foreign Ministry has strongly condemned Israel’s latest wave of airstrikes on the Gaza Strip, describing them as a blatant violation of international law and a continuation of genocidal operations against the Palestinian people. 

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei denounced the attacks, which targeted multiple areas in southern, central, and northern Gaza on Tuesday and Wednesday, including makeshift camps sheltering displaced Palestinians.

According to reports, the strikes have left at least 110 people dead and hundreds more wounded, among them a significant number of children.

Baghaei said the assaults, carried out under direct orders from Israel’s prime minister, represent “another clear indication of the regime’s intent to pursue the systematic extermination of Palestinians.”

Such actions, the Iranian official stated, heighten the responsibility of the international community under the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide to intervene, halt the attacks, and bring the perpetrators to justice.

Baghaei criticized Israel’s long record of “gross violations of legal and moral norms,” adding that the ongoing strikes are taking place under the umbrella of full US support.

He called on the guarantors of the ceasefire to fulfill their obligations and act decisively to curb Israel’s “warmongering and crimes against humanity.”
