News in Brief

Iran condemns Israel’s attacks on Lebanon


Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani said on Friday that the Israeli attacks which were carried out following the desecration of Al-Aqsa Mosque and the brutal attack on Palestinian worshippers are a violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Lebanon, as well as a gross violation of the principles of international law and human rights.
“We demand an effective and deterrent response from the international community to the aggressive actions of the usurping Zionist regime,” he added.

Iran calls for emergency OIC meeting

Iranian President Ebrahim Raeisi has called for an emergency meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) on the ongoing situation in the occupied Palestinian territories, where the Israeli regime is stepping up its crackdown against the Palestinian people.
The Zionist regime in recent days has been attacking Palestinian worshippers at Al-Aqsa Mosque in the occupied city of Al-Quds, injuring hundreds of worshippers and making arrests. The attacks on Palestinian worshippers during the fasting month of Ramadan have drawn widespread criticism from Islamic countries.
The Iranian president, during a phone conversation with his Indonesian counterpart Joko Widodo on Thursday, called for the OIC emergency meeting in order to make a joint decision on defending the rights of the innocent Palestinian people and confronting the Zionist regime’s crimes.
“Palestine is the beating heart of the Islamic world,” Raeisi said, adding, “Supporting the rights of the Palestinian nation and fighting the Zionist regime is an unchangeable principle of the structure of the Islamic Ummah.”
Iran’s Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian also urged the OIC to hold an emergency meeting.
