Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei has condemned the killing of Palestinian children in Gaza in what he described as Israel’s “relentless brutal bombardment” and “cruel starvation”.

“These are not only morally outrageous; they are the most heinous acts of war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide under international law,” Baghaei said in a post on X.

“The Israeli regime, its enablers & apologists, must be held accountable.”
