In a post on X social media platform, the mission warned that “if the Israeli apartheid’s war crimes and genocide are not halted immediately, the situation could spiral out of control.”
Iran's UN mission said Israel’s crimes against the people of Gaza could “ricochet far-reaching consequences,” adding that the United Nations, the Security Council and “the states steering the Council toward a dead end” will be responsible for those consequences.
The remarks came after the Israeli regime called up an unprecedented 300,000 reservists, declaring a "long" war on Gaza in response to Operation al-Aqsa Storm. The operation was launched by the Gaza-based Palestinian resistance movements last Saturday in response to the occupying regime's decades-long campaign of bloodshed and destruction against Palestinians.
As many as 2,269 people, including over 700 Palestinian children, have been so far killed and 9,814 others injured since the regime launched its bloody aggression against the coastal territory.
Earlier, Iran's Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian in a Saturday meeting with his Qatari counterpart, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani, in Doha slammed Israel’s brutal massacre of Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip, saying that changes in regional conditions are possible if Israel’s crimes against Palestinians continue. "If the Zionist regime's crimes against the people and citizens of Palestine continue, nobody can guarantee that conditions in the region will remain the same," Iran's top diplomat warned.
