The spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry has roundly denounced the devastating US airstrikes against Yemen and the uptick in the Israeli regime’s onslaught against Palestinians in Gaza, decrying the Security Council's inaction in the face of these vicious acts.

Esmaeil Baghaei, in a statement released on Thursday, expressed deep remorse over the mass killing of civilians, including innocent women and children, and the destruction of Yemen’s vital infrastructure as a result of US bombardments.

He described the American aerial assaults as war crimes and crimes of aggression, deploring the “shameful and unjustifiable” inaction of the UN Security Council and the other international institutions on those atrocities.

Baghaei then censured the massacre of hundreds of Palestinian children and women in the fresh wave of Israeli airstrikes on Gaza over the past few days, stressing that the parties providing military, financial and political support for the Zionist regime are accomplices in the Israeli crimes.

US stages fresh attacks on Yemen as Trump vows to ‘annihilate’ Ansarullah in support of Israel

The US attacks Yemen again after Trump vows to destroy the country’s Ansarullah movement amid Washington’s unyielding support for the Israeli regime.

He stated that the simultaneousness of US attacks on Yemen, which started during the tenure of former US President Joe Biden, and the escalation of genocide in Gaza leaves no doubt that the US and the Zionist regime have hatched a joint plot to weaken the Islamic Ummah and silence any voice of support and solidarity with the oppressed Palestinian nation.

Baghaei finally underlined the Muslim world’s common responsibility to stop the Israeli atrocities and the US military aggression against Palestinians and other Muslim peoples, calling for concerted and effective action by Muslim governments and the efforts by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to address the issue.

Israel kills 71 more in Gaza strikes and re-occupies Netzarim corridor

Reports show that within the last 24 hours more than 71 Palestinians were killed by Israeli forces in Gaza, with many more being wounded.

At least 436 Palestinians, including 183 children, have been killed since Israel shattered the Gaza ceasefire agreement on Tuesday.

Khalil al-Daqran, spokesman for the Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip, has said that 900 Palestinians have been injured as well.

Many of those wounded in the Israeli attacks died due to the impossibility of providing urgent medical care because of the shortage of basic equipment and medicines, he added.

About 70 percent of those injured are children and women, and most of their injuries are serious, Daqran said.

Meanwhile in Yemen, the US military has carried out a string of attacks, killing scores of people in the past few days.
