International Quds Day 

The leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolution says this year’s International Quds Day will be a global uproar against the Zionist regime in which people in non-Muslim countries will also participate. In a meeting with heads of the three branches of the government, Ayatollah Khamenei said the Israeli regime will continue to be the losing party in the Gaza strip. He added the regime’s recent crime against Iranian military advisors in Syria will not save it from defeat in the Palestinian territory. Ayatollah Khamenei stressed that the Israeli regime will be punished for the aggression. International condemnation followed the Israeli airstrike against Iran’s consulate in the Syrian capital. The European Union was the latest to join calls to condemn the attack after multiple countries including, Iraq, Venezuela, Oman, Qatar, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, China and Russia denounced the Israeli aggression as unacceptable. 

Condemning Israeli crimes 

Iran's foreign minister says the recent Israeli terrorist attack on the country's diplomatic premises in Syria violates international principles on the immunity of diplomats and diplomatic buildings. Hossein Amir-Abdollahian was speaking in a phone conversation with the European Union’s foreign policy Chief Josep Borrell. Calling on the bloc to condemn the attack in the strongest terms, he asked how EU would react if a similar attack had hit a Western embassy in Ukraine. Iran's top diplomat criticized the EU for urging Iran to show self-restraint while Israel continues violating all international laws and principles. Touching on the ongoing Israeli genocide in Gaza, Amir-Abdollahian said the regime’s crimes continue with full US support. He added that the US would be directly responsible for the escalation of tensions in the region if it does not stop supporting Israel's war crimes. Borrell, for his part, said the EU believes Israel’s attack on the Iranian embassy is at odds with efforts made to reduce regional tensions. 

US-Israeli genocide in Gaza 

The Israeli regime presses ahead with its relentless airstrikes and artillery shelling of the besieged Gaza Strip nearly six months into its genocidal war. The regime’s latest bombing of a house in the southern city of Rafah killed four people, including two infants. Elsewhere in Rafah, several Palestinians were killed and wounded after Israeli jets targeted another residential building. A series of Israeli raids left at least two Palestinians dead and over a dozen wounded in al-Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza. In Deir al-Balah, several people were killed and dozens injured as a result of the regime's raids. Nearly 32,980 people have so far been killed and over 75,500 injured since Israel began its Gaza genocide early last October.
