Iran FM: Root of crisis is not in Red Sea, but in genocide in Gaza

Iranian Foreign Minister criticized the British inaction in condemning the Israeli regime's air attack on the consulate of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Damascus.

Emphasizing the need to immediately stop the genocide and war crimes in Gaza and the West Bank as the only effective way to return peace to the region, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Iran added:
"Tehran has never sought to develop tension in the region, but in the face of the Israeli regime's terrorist attack on the embassy Iran in Damascus and the silence of US and Britain means encouraging Netanyahu in the continuation of war-mongering policy and its development in the region.

He added: "The root of the crisis is not in the Red Sea, but in the genocide in Gaza."

In this call, British Foreign Minister David Cameron, while congratulating the occasion of Eid al-Fitr, expressed his satisfaction with the progress achieved in some areas of cooperation between the two countries.

Referring to the existing tensions in the region, the British Foreign Minister demanded restraint from the Islamic Republic of Iran and stressed:" Lack of restraint on the part of the parties can lead to further expansion of conflicts in the region."

Cameron continued to express concern about the continuation of tension in the Red Sea and added on the issue of Palestine: "US has presented a plan for a ceasefire, which is available if the other side agrees."
