TEHRAN – Iran on Thursday denounced the U.S. vetoing of a UN Security Council resolution that called for an immediate ceasefire and full humanitarian access in Gaza.
Foreign Ministry spokesman said the U.S. move to block the draft resolution, which was supported by 14 of the 15 members of the council, marks a blatant disrespect by the U.S. government for the global and regional demand to end Israeli brutalities.
“This action also clearly represents the moral decline of American policymakers, and constitutes evidence of their complicity and partnership in the massacre and infanticide in occupied Palestine,” he said.
Baghaei said, “Over the past few decades, the U.S. government has vetoed Security Council resolutions more than 50 times, standing against the international community’s demand to enforce law and prevent gross violations of international law by the Zionist regime, thereby consolidating the occupying regime’s impunity.”
“This is undoubtedly one of the main factors in the continuation of the occupation and colonial genocide by Israel, making the US a direct accomplice in the crimes of the Israeli regime,” he said.
The spokesman emphasized the responsibility of all governments and international organizations to confront the Zionist regime’s war crimes and genocide, calling upon regional and Muslim states to utilize all their individual and collective capacities to force Israel and its allies to stop the massacre in Gaza and confront the growing threat of the Zionist entity against regional and global peace and security.
