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.
