Gaza school massacre latest outcome of US unconditional support for Israel: Iran

Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kan'ani

Iran has strongly denounced the Israeli regime’s earlier massacre of dozens of Palestinians seeking shelter at a school in central Gaza Strip, and the United States’ unconditional support for the regime that encourages such bloodletting.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kan’ani made the remarks in a post on X, former Twitter, on Saturday after at least 30 Palestinians were killed and more than 100 others wounded in the slaughter that targeted the city of Deir al-Balah in the coastal sliver.

“The killing spree at Sayadah Khadija Girls’ School in Deir al-Balah, home to thousands of Palestinian refugees, is the latest outcome of the unconditional US Government support for the Zionist regime,” he said.

The bloodbath came as part of a genocidal war that the regime has been waging against Gaza since October 7, which has so far claimed the lives of at least 39,258 Palestinians.

The spokesman asserted that “the continued war against Gaza and killing and maiming tens and hundreds of Palestinians on a daily basis constitute war crimes and crimes against humanity and cross all legal red lines.”

The United States has been lending unreserved political support to the war by vetoing several United Nations Security Council resolutions that have called for implementation of an immediate ceasefire in the brutal military onslaught.

Washington has also almost doubled its military support for the regime since the onset of the war by arming it with upwards of 25,000 bombs and missiles.

Recently, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the US Congress, strongly defending the war, and pleading for even more weapons, with American lawmakers greeting him with several rounds of standing ovation.

Kan’ani, however, underlined that providing support for the regime’s war crimes “is equal to trampling on all the international rules and regulations as well as human and ethical principles.”
