The spokesman for Iran’s Foreign Ministry says the United States and Britain are complicit in a recent “terrible and inhumane” crime perpetrated by the Israeli military in the al-Nuseirat camp in the central part of the Gaza Strip.


According to The Iran Project, Speaking at his weekly press briefing on Monday, Nasser Kan’ani once again censured the Israeli regime’s carnage at the al-Nuseirat camp, which killed 274 Palestinian civilians and wounded 698 others.

“The international community must fulfill its legal responsibility to end the crimes [committed by Israel] and take serious action in order to stop the Zionist regime’s crime machine,” he said.

He added that the Israeli regime has faced a “strategic defeat” since it started its war in Gaza some eight months ago.

Israeli forces carried out dozens of airstrikes in and around the Deir el-Balah and Nuseirat refugee camps on Saturday before they retrieved four Israeli captives.

They launched the raid in broad daylight, claiming to strike at military infrastructure in the camp as part of a “rescue operation” but witnesses and journalists on the ground say Israel bombed residential buildings, leading to higher casualties.

There are more than 100 captives still being held in the besieged Palestinian territory.

In response to a question about some changes in Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s war cabinet, Kan’ani said, “The replacement of a number of murderers and criminals with other murderers and criminals will not change the nature of this regime’s behavior.”

The Iranian spokesperson once again called on the international community to fulfill its responsibility and put an end to the regime’s war crimes against the people of Palestine.

Tel Aviv unleashed the genocidal war against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip on October 7 last year, killing at least 37,124 Palestinians and injuring 84,712 others.

Most of the causalities have been women and children, and more than 1.7 million Palestinian people in the besieged Gaza Strip -- where water, food, medicine, power and fuel are blocked by the Israeli regime -- have been internally displaced during this time.
