TEHRAN- Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian stated that the Zionist regime has failed to accomplish any of its goals in the assault on Gaza and that the evidence of Israel’s historic loss has grown clear.

In a message on Thursday, the top Iranian diplomat congratulated the leaders of the resistance groups, as well as to the resilient and steadfast nations of Lebanon and Palestine, on the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan. 

The Iranian minister congratulated Secretary-General of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad Movement Ziyad al-Nakhalah, Head of Hamas’s Political Bureau Ismail Haniyeh, and Secretary-General of Lebanon’s Hezbollah Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah. 

He also praised all resistance forces for opposing the “hateful and criminal Zionist regime.”

Along with the resolute and unwavering countries of Palestine and Lebanon, he also honored “the honorable families of the martyrs and wounded in the ongoing conflict.”

He went on to say, “Muslims around the world have embraced this sacred month as the occupying regime in al-Quds continues to commit crimes against humanity and genocide against the oppressed Palestinian nation, particularly the vulnerable women and children of this revered land. This comes when the responsible international institutions, including the United Nations Security Council, have failed to take effective and deterrent action to halt the genocide perpetrated by the Israeli regime.”

He praised the “heroic, dignified, and historic resistance displayed by the resistance forces and the steadfast Palestinian nation in the face of the regime armed to the teeth and bolstered by unwavering support from the American government.” He also denounced the passivity of those claiming to champion human rights in the face of Israeli crimes in Palestine.

“In light of these dignified and honorable efforts, the Zionist enemy has failed to achieve any of its stated objectives, and the ramifications of this regime's historic failures have come to the surface,” he added, the Foreign Ministry’s website reported.

“With sincere and unwavering faith in the assured fulfilment of God's promise of victory, I solemnly commemorate the memory of all the martyrs of the resistance during these virtuous and luminous days and nights.”

Also on Tuesday, Iran’s foreign minister sent separate letters about the recent events in the Gaza Strip to the secretary general of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), the chief of the UN, the president of the UN Security Council, and the foreign ministers of both Muslim and non-Muslim nations warning that Israeli actions in the besieged Gaza enclave have raised the alarm for “the most unprecedented humanitarian disaster of this century.”

Amir Abdollahian also warned of repercussions of the Zionist regime’s ongoing aggressive moves in the holy month of Ramadan against the people of Gaza. 

He censured the continued inability of the UN Security Council to stop the war in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank as the United States prevents the council from taking effective steps through repeated use of the “right of veto”.

Iran’s top diplomat noted, “With the advent of the holy month of Ramadan and under these circumstances we witness the continuation of the United Nations Security Council’s failure to stop the war against the Gaza Strip and the West Bank in Palestine amid the United States’ open and deliberate obstruction of any effective move by the Council through extremely resorting to the right of veto, it is absolutely necessary and incumbent upon the international community to find practical ways and take serious measures to support the Palestinian people, immediately stop the military strikes against the Gaza Strip, and get it out of the current dire situation.”

He went on to add, “The continuation of the genocide in the Gaza Strip and Rafah and war crimes in the West Bank, as well as preventing the delivery of humanitarian aid and food to the Gaza Strip by the Israeli regime and the regime’s implementation of starvation of the people living in Gaza with the goal of continuing the genocide and the destruction of women and children have sounded the alarm for the most unprecedented humanitarian disaster in this century.”

More than 32,000 Palestinians have been killed and 73,134 injured in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7.
