Iran:  Zionist attacks on medical and humanitarian aid points constitute an undeniable war crime

NEW YORK, Oct.12, (ST)- Iran’s Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the UN Amir Saeid Iravani has strongly condemned Israel’s airstrike on the humanitarian aid points at the Syrian-Lebanese border, saying that the attack constitutes an undeniable war crime.

“The deliberate targeting of humanitarian and medical facilities by the Israeli regime is a blatant violation of international humanitarian law and constitutes an undeniable war crime”, Iravani said in letters he wrote to the UN secretary general and the president of the UN Security Council.

IRNA quoted Iravani as saying: “ The Islamic Republic of Iran calls on the Security Council to condemn this heinous crime in the strongest possible terms and to take immediate and decisive action to prevent further violations by the Zionist regime. In light of the ongoing genocidal war and relentless aggression by the Israeli occupying regime against the people of Palestine and Lebanon, the Security Council must fulfill its duty to protect civilians, humanitarian aid workers, and medical facilities. International law must be upheld, and these egregious crimes cannot go unanswered. In this regard, the Security Council must act to ensure accountability and prevent further atrocities.”
