Iran supports Palestine
Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman says Tehran supports any effort to stop the killing and genocide in Gaza. Esmaeil Baqaei, speaking at his weekly briefing, said Iran has been demanding an end to Israeli crimes, lifting of the blockade, and delivering aid to Gaza strip since the start of genocide. He called the past two years an assault on humanity, adding that October 7 didn’t happen in a vacuum. Baqaei said without considering Palestinian right to self-determination, the crimes won’t end. On Iran’s non-presence at the Sharm el-Sheikh peace summit, Baqaei said the invitation from Egypt was reviewed carefully, and the final decision serves Iran national interests. He added that Tehran’s influence doesn’t depend on attending such events. The Iranian official said over the past two years, Iran has actively pursued accountability for Israeli actions in Gaza.
