Iran's Foreign Ministry on Wednesday condemned what it called the Israeli regime's ongoing military aggression against Lebanon, specifically citing recent brutal attacks on residential areas in southern Lebanon. The ministry's statement noted that these attacks killed and wounded dozens of Lebanese citizens, including women and children. Iran's Foreign Ministry asserted, "The United Nations, its secretary-general and all member states are obligated to take the necessary measures to stop the aggressive attacks and war crimes of the Zionist regime." The ministry also stated that "the US regime is 'the main partner in the crimes of the Zionist regime in Lebanon' and must be held accountable."
Calls for International Accountability
The statement from Iran's Foreign Ministry explicitly condemned the continuation of the Zionist regime’s military aggression against Lebanon. It specifically noted recent brutal attacks on residential areas in southern Lebanon. Iran called upon the United Nations, its secretary-general, and all member states to ensure that perpetrators of war crimes are held accountable for their actions. The Foreign Ministry also criticized the UN Security Council for its perceived inaction regarding the Israeli regime’s aggressive activities. According to the ministry, the Security Council’s failure to act has undermined the credibility of the UN and has emboldened the Israeli regime. The statement further asserted that the international community and relevant international institutions cannot remain inactive in the face of the Zionist regime’s continued attacks on Lebanon. The ministry emphasized that the UN, its secretary-general, and member states must take immediate measures to halt these attacks. Iran also called on the UN, its secretary-general, and member states to hold perpetrators of war crimes accountable for their actions.
US Role in Conflict
Iran's Foreign Ministry stated that the "Zionist regime’s attacks and occupation of parts of Lebanon are accompanied by the commission of the most serious war crimes." These actions, according to the ministry, have occurred with the overt support of the United States. The ministry further asserted that the US regime is "the main partner in the crimes of the Zionist regime in Lebanon" and must be held accountable for its role. This accusation shows Iran's view that Washington's backing enables what it describes as Israeli aggression in the region. The statement did not provide specific details on the nature of the alleged war crimes or the precise forms of U.S. Support it referred to, but it maintained a strong emphasis on holding the United States responsible for the ongoing conflict. The Foreign Ministry noted that these actions have taken place under the overt support of the United States.
Broader Implications and Support
Iran called on the United Nations, its secretary-general, and member states to take immediate measures to halt the attacks, according to the Foreign Ministry. The ministry also urged the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to take serious action and utilize its full capacities to stop what it termed the Israeli regime’s crimes. Iran further called on the OIC to ensure that perpetrators are "held accountable and punished" for their actions. The Iranian Foreign Ministry reaffirmed its nation's support for Lebanon in defending its national sovereignty and territorial integrity. It stated that such actions by the Israeli regime pose a serious threat to both regional and global peace and security. The ministry's statement on Wednesday showed its firm stance on the issue.
