Iran condemns deadly Israeli attacks on Gaza

The Iranian ministry of foreign affairs has denounced the Israeli aggression against Gaza at dawn Tuesday, which resulted in the death of 13 Palestinian citizens, including three commanders of Islamic Jihad’s armed wing.

In a statement, the Iranian foreign ministry described the Israeli raids on Gaza and the assassination of young resistance fighters as a “heinous crime” and a “cowardly and reprehensible act” aimed at covering up Israel’s security crises in the occupied Palestinian territories.

The ministry urged the Islamic countries to take immediate action against the Israeli occupation state and its crimes, stressing the need for creating effective deterrence against it.
