Iran President Censures US veto of UN Resolution on Gaza Ceasefire

Iran President Censures US veto of UN Resolution on Gaza Ceasefire

Alwaght- Iranian President Ebrahim Raeisi rebuked the US for vetoing a UN resolution calling for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza.

At a time that the world demands an end to Israel's war crimes in Palestine, the US veto of the UNSC ceasefire resolution proves that it is the root of the regime's war on Gaza and its crimes against people in the besieged territory, Raeisi said in a post on his X account on Sunday.

"The US is the main supporter of the massacre of innocent Gazan women & children," he stated.

On Friday, the US used its veto in the United Nations Security Council to block a draft resolution calling for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza.

Thirteen Security Council members voted in favor of the resolution, put forward by the United Arab Emirates, while the United Kingdom abstained.

The General Assembly, where the US has no veto power, overwhelmingly supported a humanitarian ceasefire. On October 26, the assembly approved the ceasefire with 120 votes in favor and only 14 against the non-binding resolution.

In a statement on Saturday, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kan’ani said the US veto of the resolution once again showed Washington’s leading role in the genocide of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

 “The US government once again proved that it is the main culprit and guilty party in the killing of civilians and Palestinian citizens, especially women and children, and destruction of vital infrastructure in Gaza,” Kan'ani said.

Israel waged its war on Gaza on October 7, after the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas carried out the surprise Operation Al-Aqsa Storm into the occupied territories in response to Tel Aviv’s intensified crimes against the Palestinian people.

In the event, the regime's leaders ordered Israeli military forces to attack the besieged Gaza Strip with a force “like never before.”

Israeli strikes have so far killed more than 17,700 people, most of them women and children, and injured nearly 48,800 others in its relentless air and ground attacks on Gaza since October 7.
