Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian warned that the expansion of "Israel's" war on the Gaza Strip to include the entire region has become inevitable due to the escalation of the occupation's aggression on Gaza.

During a phone call with his Qatari counterpart, Mohammad bin Abdulrahman al-Thani, Amir-Abdollahian emphasized that due to the increased intensity of the aggression against civilians in Gaza, expanding the scope of the war has become unavoidable.

Earlier on Thursday, Amir-Abdollahian declared that time is running out for "Israel" to continue its brutal aggression on Gaza.

In a post on X, he declared that the only "good" thing Israeli occupation Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accomplished was to further undermine the foundations of the “fake Israeli regime."

زمان برای تداوم جنایات تل‌آویو بسرعت رو به پایان است. تنها فايده نتانياهو اين بود كه پایه‌های رژیم جعلی اسراییل را متزلزل‌تر ساخت و چهره جنایتکار، خشن و متجاوز رژیم صهیونیستی را در قتل‌عام زنان و کودکان در غزه به روشنی و بدون روتوش به نمایش گذاشت. بی تردید آینده از آن فلسطین است.

The Iranian Foreign Minister elaborated that Netanyahu revealed the “criminal, violent, and aggressive face of the Zionist regime” during its massacres in Gaza.

He also expressed that “undoubtedly, the future belongs to Palestine."

Raisi urges international community to take serious steps, end war on Gaza

The international community should take serious steps to end the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi emphasized during a joint press conference with Tajikistan's President Emomali Rahmon.

Raisi said that "all the conscientious people" are deeply concerned over the fate of the oppressed Palestinians in Gaza. He reiterated that Palestine is an issue of concern for humanity in general and Muslims in particular.

Iran's President shed light on the international popular will that wants an end to the blockade on the Gaza Strip, the delivery of humanitarian aid to its people, and the restoration of Palestinian rights.
