Bangla Press Desk: Iran’s top diplomat on Friday accused Israel of launching an "unjust and criminal war" on Iran, calling on the international community to condemn what he called a "merciless act of aggression."
Speaking at the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, Foreign Minister Sayed Abbas Araghchi said Iran – a nation of nearly 100 million people – is now facing a blatant act of aggression by a regime he accused of committing genocide in Palestine for the past two years.
He said the Israeli assault, which began last week, has targeted "residential areas, public infrastructures, hospitals, health centers and, of course, the Foreign Ministry."
"Hundreds of my fellow Iranians have been killed and injured," Araghchi told delegates, adding that "peaceful nuclear facilities have also been targeted despite their being under full monitoring of the IAEA," or International Atomic Energy Agency. He described the strikes as "grave war crimes" that risk environmental and health catastrophe.
