TEHRAN, Jul. 02 (MNA) – Iran’s FM spokeswoman has said Zionist invasion of Gaza-bound aid ships blatantly violates international conventions.

Marzieh Afkham who was announcing the government’s official position on Israeli attack on Swedish fishing trawler Marianne of Gothenburg, condemned the overtaking of the ship as violation of international conventions by the Zionist regime. The ship was carrying aid to Gaza Strip through breaking the Gaza marine siege, where Israeli marines attacked the Marianne of Gothenburg.

Afkham also pointed to the inhuman implications of marine siege on Gaza by the Zionist regime, and urged international immediate action against Israeli violation of international laws. She also called for immediate removal of siege of Gaza in order to end the desperate humanitarian situation in the Strip.
