‘Gaza genocide a test of humanity’s conscience’: Iran

Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Nasser Kanani

Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman has called for global action to stop Israeli atrocities in Gaza, saying the crisis in Gaza is a test of humanity’s conscience.

"Gaza is a test for humanity to test its conscience! No living and awakened conscience will remain silent after seeing images of the massacre of Palestinians in Gaza, the complete siege of over 2 million people, the bombing of hospitals and the killing of patients, and the siege of the children's hospital,” Nasser Kanani wrote in a post on X on Friday. 

Kanani said the world shouldn’t wait for the UN Security Council, as considering the Western support for Israel, the council has no will to put an end to the genocide in Gaza.

“Is the world waiting for the UN Security Council? This council has no will to stop the Zionist regime’s killing machine and end the genocide of Palestinians under the shadow of the US veto and the support of England and France for the evil Zionist regime!”

The spokesman also slammed the US support for Israel, saying it further emboldens the regime to commit crimes.

“This stain will never be removed from America's forehead that with the full support of the US government, the Israeli regime is freely massacring and genociding Palestinians!”

The war started after the territory's resistance movements waged a surprise attack against the occupying entity, dubbed Operation al-Aqsa Storm, in response to its decades-long campaign of bloodletting and devastation against Palestinians.
