TEHRAN- The president of Iran asserts that the crimes committed by the U.S. and the Israeli regime against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip have enraged people internationally.

Ebrahim Raisi made the remarks in a Tuesday phone call with his Turkmen counterpart Serdar Berdimuhamedow.

“What is being afflicted on the oppressed people of Gaza in terms of oppression and crime, by the Zionist regime and the U.S. has deeply affected and angered all the Muslims of the world as well as all the people of the world,” the Iranian president said.

The atrocities, he stated, “have deeply affected and enraged not only all the world’s Muslims, but only the entire people of the world.”

The president of Iran stressed the necessity of using all resources at hand to support the oppressed Gazan people.

The remarks were made in the midst of the war that Israel has been waging against the Gaza Strip since October 7 in retaliation for an operation that the Palestinian resistance groups had organized.

Additionally, Washington has exercised its veto power over all UN Security Council resolutions that demanded the establishment of a quick cease-fire throughout the beleaguered Palestinian territories.

Elsewhere in his remarks, Raisi was pleased with the remarkable development of relations between Turkmenistan and Iran, particularly in the area of trade.

He emphasized the necessity of carrying out the significant agreements that had been made during the most recent meeting of the nations’ joint economic commission in the areas of energy, transportation, and transit.

While announcing the readiness of Iran to promote cooperation between the two countries in the field of electricity and gas, Raisi also emphasized the development of cooperation between Tehran and Ashgabat in the transport and transit sector by utilizing the capacity of Iran’s southern ports, including Bandar Abbas and Chabahar Port.

The president also referred to the historical and civilizational background of the two countries and the availability of the ground for further promotion of cultural interactions between the two nations, and announced Iran's readiness to hold a joint cultural program with Turkmenistan and honor common cultural figures and personalities.

The Turkmen official, for his part, also expressed satisfaction with the rising trend of the two nations’ relations in a number of political, economic, and cultural domains.

Berdimuhamedow stated that Ashgabat is well-prepared to carry out bilateral agreements and raise the degree of collaboration between the two nations.
