GENEVA (Dispatches) -- Iran’s Parliament Speaker Muhammad Bagher Ghalibaf condemned the international community’s failure to hold Israel accountable, warning it has emboldened the regime to escalate its crimes, posing a serious threat to global peace.

Speaking at the Sixth World Conference of Speakers of Parliament here Wednesday, Ghalibaf said Israel launched a U.S.-backed attack against Iran in June, killing about 1,100 Iranians. He said the strikes targeted Iran’s peaceful nuclear facilities, which were under regular International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) monitoring.

Ghalibaf criticized the IAEA for refusing to condemn the attack, accusing the agency of legitimizing the aggression and undermining non-proliferation efforts.
He highlighted that the attacks occurred while Iran was engaged in nuclear negotiations and committed to dialogue, adding that Tehran’s “devastating” response forced Israel to seek a ceasefire.
Ghalibaf said the U.S. joined Israel in violating international law by attacking Iran’s nuclear sites, breaching the United Nations Charter and the Non-Proliferation Treaty. He noted that while 120 countries condemned the aggression, Israel’s powerful allies blocked decisive action against the regime.
The speaker hit out at international institutions for their silence and political bias, failing to uphold peace and justice.
At the conference, Ghalibaf displayed images of two children – Ryan, a two-month-old Iranian victim of Israel’s attacks, and a Palestinian child from Gaza – as symbols of Israeli crimes.
He described Gaza as a “museum of crimes against humanity” and condemned ongoing Israeli strikes in the region, including Lebanon and Syria.
