TEHRAN- Iran's Vice President for Strategic Affairs characterized the actions of the Zionist regime in Gaza as a manifestation of genocide and global corruption.

During a series of “For Iran” meetings at the Strategic Studies Center of the Presidential Office, Mohammad Javad Zarif marked the first anniversary of the atrocities committed by the Israeli regime in Gaza. 

Zarif stated, “Our region is currently facing a grave crisis, and today we reflect on the horrific acts that Israel has perpetrated, including plunder, massacre, and genocide in occupied Palestine, the Gaza Strip, and Lebanon, which are unparalleled in their brutality and criminality.”

Zarif further emphasized, “The region is indeed facing a significant crisis, and the scale of the massacre by Israel during this period is without precedent. Some may question the relevance of discussing environmental issues in such dire circumstances; however, the destruction of the environment and the loss of human life represent two critical aspects of [Quranic notion] corruption on Earth.” 

“The crimes committed by Israel in Gaza not only have devastating repercussions for the region but also exemplify global corruption and contribute to environmental degradation,” he concluded.
