President Raeisi made the comments in a telephone conversation with Lula da Silva, the president of Brazil and the temporary head of the UN Security Council on Tuesday.
The Iranian president said that the Resistance’s recent actions in occupied Palestine were a response to the decades-long occupation, highlighting “The Zionists against’s foolish actions against the oppressed people of Gaza will not help to resolve the problem, but instead escalate the conflict and spread it to other parts of the region.”
He noted that the Zionist regime is taking revenge for its defeat against Palestinians in the recent Al-Aqsa Storm Operation, strongly condemning the siege on the Gaza Strip and cutting off water, food and humanitarian supplies to the oppressed people as inhuman actions by the Zionist regime in a bid to make up for its huge defeat at the hands of the Resistance groups.
Raeisi described Zionist regime’s actions as a clear example of war crimes and crimes against humanity and emphasized the need for all countries to play a role in countering such savage actions.
The Iranian president called on Brazil, as the rotating president of the UN Security Council and a big BRICS member, to intervene for the sake of world peace, voicing Iran’s preparedness to help Briazil in playing that role on the international stage.
