Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi strongly denounces the Israeli regime’s recent deadly attacks against the Lebanese capital Beirut and the United States’ complicity in the atrocity.
According to The Iran Project, The top diplomat made the remarks on Friday during a United Nations Security Council meeting in New York.
“Just this morning, the Israeli regime used several 5,000-pound bunker busters that had been gifted to them by the United States to hit residential areas in Beirut,” he said.
“One cannot disregard the US’s complicity in the crime,” the official noted.
Earlier in the day, Israeli warplanes struck at least six residential structures in Dahiyeh's Haret Hreik neighborhood, killing at least eight people and wounding some 80 others.
The regime kept on the raids on Saturday, when it targeted several buildings in the al-Hadath and Laylaki neighborhoods in the same area with at least 15 airstrikes.
The attacks came as part of the regime’s escalation against Lebanon that has been targeting the country since October 7, when Tel Aviv launched a genocidal war on the Gaza Strip.
The escalation has taken a deadlier turn since Monday, claiming the lives of more than 700 people across the country.
