TEHRAN – Iranian Foreign

Minister Hussein Amir-Abdollahian has said that Washington prefers to aid and abet the Zionist regime which has already fallen apart.

Denouncing the U.S. for ignoring calls for ending the Israeli war on Gaza, in a post on his X account on Tuesday, the top Iranian diplomat decried the U.S.’ unconditional support for the Israeli regime’s atrocities against Gaza.

He said more than 120 countries have called for an end to the Israeli war on Gaza and millions of people across the world, even in Washington, D.C., have rallied to express solidarity with Palestinians and condemn the Zionist war crimes.

“However, the White House prefers to remain as an accomplice and stand with the fallen Israeli regime at the expense of opposing the world public opinion,” he added.

More than 10,000 Palestinians in Gaza have been killed in Zionist attacks since October 7, when Hamas fighters launched a surprise operation outside Gaza.

As heavy bombardment continues across Gaza, 18 UN and other humanitarian organizations have issued a statement calling for an “immediate humanitarian ceasefire”.
