Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has condemned Israel’s months-long onslaught on Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip, stressing that the occupying regime and the United States would not dare perpetrate any crimes in the region if Muslims were united.

According to The Iran Project, Pezeshkian made the remarks at a ceremony on Saturday to renew his cabinet’s allegiance to the ideals of Imam Khomeini, the late founder of the Islamic Republic, in his shrine in southern Tehran at the outset of the Administration Week.

Pointing to the crimes committed by the Israeli regime in Gaza, the Iranian chief executive said, “Would Israel have dared to do a damn thing in this region if Muslims had been united? Not only them, but the US, Europe and any other power, could they do any of these things?”

Israel unleashed its relentless war on Gaza after Operation al-Aqsa Storm, a retaliatory operation staged by Hamas-led resistance groups in reprisal for the regime’s decades-long crimes against Palestinians.

Israel has killed more than 40,200 Palestinians in Gaza since early October. Over 93,000 Palestinians are also injured.

Touching on a number of economic woes in Iran due to Western sanctions, Pezeshkian stated, “In our own country, we have no other way to solve our problems than increasing internal unity and cohesion.”

He expressed his gratitude to the Iranian Parliament’s approval of his proposed cabinet lineup and praised the measure as a “great message” and a beginning to “move forward with all-round unity.”

“Just like the beginning of the [Islamic] Revolution, with the unity and cohesion of the people, despite the fact that the whole world had joined hands to eradicate the revolution but could not destroy it…We can and must solve all problems by standing together,” Pezeshkian added.
