Pezeshkian urges ‘serious’ global action against Israeli aggression on Palestinians
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian once again called for serious and effective international steps to end the Israeli aggression and violations against the people of Palestine.
He made the remarks in a letter to the United Nations on the occasion of the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People.
“This day recalls eight decades of the occupation of Palestinian lands by the usurping Israeli regime, the continuous pain and suffering of the Palestinian people, and the persistence of oppression and injustice inflicted upon that oppressed nation,” Pezeshkian said.
He stressed that the international community needs to confront the Israeli regime for its open violations of international law.
He added that ending the organized occupation of Palestinian lands and the right of return of Palestinian refugees are the only sustainable solution to the Palestinian issue.
The Iranian president further called Israel the most serious threat to world peace and security, saying Iran continues to offer its absolute support to Palestinians to achieve their objectives.
He also highlighted the failures of international organizations to protect Palestinians, calling on the global community to uphold the rights and self-determination of the Palestinian people.

The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman also reiterated the country’s unwavering support for Palestinians, describing their plight as “the deepest wound in human conscience.”
In a post on X, Esmaeil Baqaei emphasized that Palestine remained “the most universal cause for justice and solidarity,” highlighting the ongoing struggles faced by Palestinians under the “occupying apartheid regime.”
Baqaei was referring to the regime’s decades-old practice of exercising a deadly and extremist racist agenda against Palestinians, which has claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands of them, including as part of the ongoing war of genocide in the Gaza Strip, and displacement of millions of others among them.
The genocide, which began in October 2023, alone has killed more than 70,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and reduced the biggest part of the coastal sliver into rubble.
