Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian has had a phone conversation with the UN Secretary General António Guterres on the latest developments in Palestine.

According to The Iran Project,Amirabdollahian in his phone call with Guterres said that the Zionist regime's claims of violation of ceasefire terms by Hamas are completely false, the IRNA reported on Saturday.

He added that despite efforts for the continuation of the truce, the US's support for the continuation of the Israeli regime's military attacks has made it difficult to achieve a lasting ceasefire.

Appreciating Guterres's action in invoking "Article 99 of the United Nations Charter" regarding the developments in Palestine and Gaza, Amirabdollahia emphasized that this is a brave action to maintain international peace and security.

The UN Secretary General, for his part, said that the humanitarian situation in Gaza is catastrophic.

Guterres added that invoking Article 99 of the UN Charter has not been done since 1989, but due to the complex situation in Gaza and Palestine, the process has been invoked.

He called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza to avert a humanitarian catastrophe.
