Empty Condemnations Are No Longer Enough: Araqchin to the International Community

Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchin has urged the international community to take immediate and decisive measures to support Gaza, condemning the systematic attacks on civilians by Israel and emphasizing that empty condemnations are no longer sufficient.

Araqchin spoke at an extraordinary ministerial meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation held on Monday in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

“Today we gather at a moment when Gaza stands before our collective conscience like a shocking mirror. Before our eyes unfolds the organized destruction of besieged people by a regime acting with complete impunity. The people of Gaza are being systematically slaughtered, residential areas are completely devastated, hospitals have turned into graveyards, and children are facing extreme hunger, grossly violating all human standards. This is not a conventional war. This is collective punishment, a policy of supremacy and an attack that bears all the signs of genocide,” Araqchin stated.
