The Iranian Foreign Minister warned Hussein Amir Abdullahian The United States will not be spared from the flames of war if the genocide in the Gaza Strip continues.
Abdullahian said, in his speech before the United Nations General Assembly on Thursday, “I say frankly to the American politicians who are now managing the genocide in Palestine, that we do not welcome the expansion of the scope of the war in the region. But if the genocide in Gaza continues, they will not be spared from this fire.”
The Iranian Foreign Minister called on those who wish to prevent the war from expanding to pressure Israel to stop its war on Gaza, stressing that the Palestinian people have the right to resist occupation in accordance with international law, including armed struggle.
Abdullahian denounced what he described as “war crimes and genocide” committed by the Israeli occupation in Gaza and the West Bank about 3 weeks ago. He said that the United States and European countries are watching and supporting the killing of 7,000 civilians in Gaza.

Regarding the file of Israeli prisoners in Gaza, Abdullahian said that the Islamic Resistance Movement (agitation) informed Tehran of its readiness to release civilian detainees, and added that the world must take action to free 6,000 Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons.
He stressed that Iran “is ready to play its role in this very important humanitarian endeavor, along with Qatar and Turkey. Of course, the release of the 6,000 Palestinian prisoners is another necessity and responsibility for the international community.”
