TEHRAN – Ali Bahreini, the Iranian Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the United Nations Office in Geneva has urged for prompt measures to halt Israel's actions in Lebanon and Palestine, emphasizing the need to hold the regime accountable for its offenses.

Bahreini expressed these concerns in separate letters addressed to the president of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement and the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights.

In his statements, the Iranian ambassador condemned the recent assaults by the Israeli regime on Lebanon and called for an immediate reaction from the international community to address this aggression and ensure accountability for the crimes committed.

Bahreini specifically denounced the Israeli airstrikes in Beirut, which resulted in the deaths of Hezbollah leader, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, and Iranian IRGC Qods Force high-ranking commander, Major General Abbas Nilfroushan, labeling these actions as serious violations of human rights and international humanitarian law. 

Highlighting Israel's use of American-made weaponry in these operations, including BLU-109 bunker-buster bombs, the ambassador asserted that this indicates direct collaboration from the West, particularly the United States, in Israel's military endeavors. 

Bahreini called for an immediate cessation of arms supplies from Western nations to the Israeli regime.

Regarding Iran's military response to Israeli actions, the ambassador noted that missiles were launched in retaliation for Israeli aggression, aimed at self-defending Iran's national sovereignty and regional security.

On Tuesday evening, the Iranian military fired around 200 ballistic missiles at Israeli military and intelligence bases in response to the July 31 assassinations of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, and the September 27 killing of Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and Iranian military advisor to Lebanon Brigadier General Abbas Nilfroushan in Beirut.
