Iranian Foreign Minister Hussein Emir Abdullahian warned Israel to stop the “war crimes” it committed in Gaza before it is too late, and said that the “resistance front, including the Lebanese Hezbollah, is on the alert” to open a new front against Israel.
HE EXAMINED THE AREA FOR TWO DAYS
According to Iranian state television, Abdullahian held a press conference at the Iranian embassy in Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, at the end of his two-day regional tour covering Iraq, Lebanon and Syria. Stating that the most important issue right now is stopping Israel’s war crimes, Abdullahiyan said, “I warn them to stop war crimes. Maybe the next hour will be too late for everything.” said.
Abdullahiyan stated that he met with Hassan Nasrallah, Secretary General of Lebanese Hezbollah, as well as senior officials of the Palestinian resistance groups Hamas and Islamic Jihad, and said:
“In my conversations with the leaders of the Resistance Front, I learned that if they decide to respond to the crimes of the Zionist regime, it will be regrettable and will change the current map of the occupied Palestinian territories.”
Abdullahiyan stated that “the resistance forces will decide on the opening of new fronts, the expansion of the war or the ceasefire” and added, “If the war crimes of the Zionist regime continue, the declaration of zero hour is in the hands of the resistance movement. The hands of the resistance forces are on the alert.” said.
EMPHASIS ON WAR CRIMES
Noting that the war crimes committed by Israel in Gaza should be specifically monitored by both the United Nations (UN) and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), Abdullahiyan said that he reminded him of this duty during his meeting with UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres.
Pointing to the open support given to Israel by some Western countries, especially the USA, France and England, the Iranian Minister said, “No sane person can tolerate or support the killing of women and children in Gaza. The West is responsible for the war crimes of the Israeli regime.” said.
SAUDI ARABIA-IRAN NORMALIZATION PROCESS
When asked about the impact of the situation in Gaza on the normalization process between Saudi Arabia and Israel, Abdullahiyan commented that this process is now completely “off the table.” (AA)
