Iran’s Foreign Ministry has condemned Israel’s attacks on Gaza’s refugee camps and displacement shelters amid its ongoing blockade of aid deliveries into the enclave, calling it a “concrete example of a war crime and a crime against humanity”, Al Jazeera reports.

Foreign Ministry spokesperson Ismail Baghaei also criticised the United Nations Security Council for its “inaction” and called the US and some European countries that supply Israel with weapons “accomplices”, according to a statement the Foreign Ministry posted on X.

“The Foreign Ministry spokesman stressed that the continued impunity of the Zionist regime and the continued killing of defenceless people in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, and the occupation of parts of Lebanon and Syria, severely threaten peace and security in the West Asian region,” the statement read.

It added that “serious measures” must be taken to prevent the “spread of insecurity and confront the expansionism of the apartheid regime”.
