Lebanon pager blasts disgrace to the West: Iranian president
President Masoud Pezeshkian says Israel’s pager detonations in Lebanon are a shame for the regime’s Western backers, not least the United States.
The Western supporters of Israel, the Iranian president said, feel unbound to any principle in pursuing their inhumane agenda.
Speaking at a Cabinet meeting in Tehran on Wednesday, Pezeshkian said the September 17 pager explosions are another proof of the fall of humanity in the West and that they do not want a ceasefire in Gaza.
“Using tools usually made to enhance the welfare of humans as a means of terror and destruction against those whose views do not align with us is proof of the fall of humanity and of the dominance of savagery and criminality,” he said.
“This event once again showed that although the Western states and Americans claim they want a ceasefire, they practically offer full support for blind crimes, killings and assassinations.”
The Iranian president said Muslim nations must join hands to break the chain of Israeli massacres.
“The cure for this situation and breaking the chain of oppression and crimes of the Zionist regime and its supporters against the oppressed Palestinians and the Muslim world lies in the unity and cohesion of Muslims and Islamic countries,” he said.
The explosions of thousands of pagers widely used by resistance factions and also public service workers left at least a dozen dead and around 3,000 people injured.
The Lebanese government has blamed Israel and vowed to file a complaint with the United Nations over the attack.
Hezbollah has promised the Israeli regime will receive ‘just punishment’ for the attack.
