The spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry has described the extent of the Israeli military’s barbaric and brutal aggression against Palestinians in Gaza as "unspeakable", stressing that silence on such atrocities is rejected by humanity's conscience.

“The pains and plights inflicted on Palestine and the residents of the Gaza Strip are unspeakable,” Nasser Kan’ani wrote in a post published on his official X account on Tuesday.

He went on to denounce the US President Joe Biden’s administration and other Western sponsors of the criminal Israeli regime amid the ongoing horrible crimes in Gaza, emphasizing that they are as culpable as the occupying Zionist entity.

“Silence and inaction regarding all these crimes and savagery run counter to humanitarian and moral responsibility and is rejected and condemned by the humanity's conscience and the divine judgment,” Kan’ani pointed out.

UN official urges ICC to issue arrest warrant for Israel’s genocide 'mastermind'

UN official calls on ICC to issue arrest warrant for Israel’s genocidal policies "mastermind."

The Tel Aviv regime has so far killed at least 37,900 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured 87,060 others, since it waged the brutal war on the Gaza Strip in October 2023, according to the Gaza-based health ministry.

The occupying entity has also imposed a “complete siege” on the territory, cutting off fuel, electricity, food, and water to the more than two million Palestinians living there.

Israel stands accused of genocide at the International Court of Justice, whose latest ruling ordered it to immediately halt its military operation in Rafah, where over a million Palestinians had sought refuge from the war before it was invaded on May 6.
