President: Muslim countries must take urgent action to stop Israeli ‘killing machine’
President Seyyed Ebrahim Raeisi of Iran says Muslim countries and free nations in the world must take a “decisive and immediate” action to stop the Israeli “killing machine” as the war on the besieged Gaza is claiming more civilian lives.
In a phone call with Omani Sultan Haitham bin Tarik on Saturday, Raeisi warned the unlimited support by Western countries, particularly the United States, for the crimes of Israel has led to more complication and deterioration of the situation.
He said the Palestinian resistance groups launched Operation Al-Aqsa Storm following the intensification of the regime’s crimes in recent months. The operation, he said, has upset the Zionist-Western calculations.
The President also raised the alarm about plots by the illegal Zionist entity and its allies to carry out a massacre in Gaza and force the Palestinians to evacuate the city as the Tel Aviv regime continues to cut off water and electricity and prevents the entry of medicine and food.
Raeisi also urged that United Nations, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, the Arab League and other international circles to address the current dire situation in Gaza.
Elsewhere in his remarks, Raeisi said Iran has always placed a premium on the expansion of ties with Oman based on good neighborliness and mutual trust. The president also hailed Muscat’s constructive role in the settlement of regional and international issues.
The Omani sultan, for his part, praised Iran’s stance in support of the oppressed Palestinian people and said Israel should not be allowed to once again force the people to evacuate their homes.
Iran ready for cooperation with Iraq, all Muslim states to help prevent genocide in Gaza: Raeisi
In a phone conversation with Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia' Al Sudani on Saturday, Raeisi said lifting the siege and preventing genocide in Gaza require an immediate action by all Muslim nations, expressing Iran's readiness to cooperate with Iraq and other Muslim states in this regard.
The Iranian president expressed concern over inhumane acts and the killing of innocent people in Gaza and said Israel is trying to avenge its defeat to the resistance forces through "collective punishment and systematic crime" against defenseless and innocent civilians.
Raeisi said cutting off water and electricity and preventing the dispatch of fuel and food to Gaza are clear examples of "war crime and crimes against humanity."
The Iraqi Prime Minister, for his part, hailed the principled stance of Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and the Iranian government and people on the need to defend the oppressed people of Palestine.
Sudani said the ongoing events in Gaza amount to mass genocide in retaliation for the heavy defeat that the Zionist regime suffered from the resistance fighters.
