US abetting Israeli crimes despite global condemnation: Amir-Abdollahian

Denouncing the US for ignoring calls for ending the Israeli war on Gaza, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian said Washington prefers to aid and abet the Zionist regime which has already fallen apart.

In a post on his X account on Tuesday, the top Iranian diplomat decried the US’ unconditional support for the Israeli regime’s atrocities against Gaza.

He said more than 120 countries have called for an end to the Israeli war on Gaza and millions of people across the world, even in Washington, D.C., have rallied to express solidarity with Palestinians and condemn the Zionist war crimes.

“However, the White House prefers to remain as an accomplice and stand with the fallen Israeli regime at the expense of opposing the world public opinion,” he added.

Israel’s bombardment campaign against Gaza began after the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas launched Operation Al-Aqsa Strom in response to decades of violence against Palestinians by the Israeli regime on October 7.

The martyrdom toll from Israel’s brutal aggression on the Gaza Strip has surpassed 10,000, most of them women and children, while more than 24,000 others were injured.

As heavy bombardment continues across Gaza, 18 UN and other humanitarian organizations have issued a statement calling for an “immediate humanitarian ceasefire”.
