TEHRAN – Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian has asserted that officials of the Zionist regime are perpetrating crimes even more egregious than those of ISIS.

In a post on his X account on Sunday, Amir Abdollahian underscored the major failure of the Zionist regime’s military endeavors. 

The minister emphasized Palestine’s decisive victory in the uneven battlefield. “The allegations against the Zionist officials include not only ongoing atrocities but also their attempt to compensate for the regime’s historically disgraceful defeats,” he noted.

The top Iranian diplomat, addressing the ongoing situation, highlighted that despite 70 days of conflict, Hamas persists, resistance remains intact, and the forced displacement plan for Gaza residents has not yielded the desired outcomes.

At least 18,700 people have been killed and nearly 50,600 injured in Gaza as a result of the Israeli attacks that started on October 7, the day on which Hamas launched a major operation into the occupied territories near Gaza. Hamas’s surprise operation came in retaliation to decades of Israeli oppression against the Palestinians.

Nearly 70 per cent of those killed in the besieged area are women and children, as confirmed by the Health Ministry authorities in Gaza.
