Iran: Security Council’s inaction on Israel’s warmongering endangers regional stability

The spokesman for Iran’s Foreign Ministry says inaction of the United Nations Security Council on the Israeli regime’s warmongering is seriously endangering stability in the region.

In a statement on Monday, Esmaeil Baghaei denounced Israel’s military assaults against Syria and called for serious action at regional and international levels to stop the aggression and hold the Tel Aviv regime accountable.

Israel frequently targets military positions inside Syria, especially those of the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah, which has played a key role in helping the Syrian army in its fight against foreign-backed terrorists.

The Tel Aviv regime rarely comments on its attacks on Syrian territories. 

Damascus has time and again called on the UN Security Council to put an end to the regime’s attacks that violate Syria’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

The Syrian defense ministry said on Sunday that Israel had carried out airstrikes on military positions in central Syria, reporting no casualties.

"At approximately 20:05 (17:05 GMT) the Israeli enemy launched an air aggression coming from the direction of north Lebanon, which targeted military sites in the central region, causing material losses," the ministry said in a statement.

The attack is the second strike in as many days on a residential neighborhood in Damascus, a monitor group says.

Baghaei said Israel continues its genocidal war against the people of Palestine in Gaza and conducts heavy assaults against Lebanon and Syria.

He added that the Security Council’s passiveness vis-à-vis the Israeli regime’s crimes will bear serious adverse consequences for global peace and security.

The Iranian spokesman emphasized that Israel’s aggression against Muslim and Arab countries exposes the regime’s “militancy and expansionism” nature.

The US and other Western supporters of Israel should be held accountable for the regime’s international crimes in violation of the international law.

Israel launched the war on Gaza after the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas waged the surprise Operation Al-Aqsa Flood against the occupying entity on October 7, 2023 in response to the Israeli regime's decades-long campaign of bloodletting and devastation against Palestinians.

Israel has also been targeting Lebanon since October 2023, when it launched the genocidal war on the Gaza Strip. Since late last month, the regime has escalated its strikes on Lebanon.

Lebanon’s Hezbollah has been responding to the aggression with retaliatory operations.
