Araghchi: Israel ‘source of instability’ in West Asia

Tehran - BORNA - In a post on his account on X, Araghchi said on Friday, “The so-called ‘anchor of security in the Middle East’ is wanted for genocide and war crimes, has imposed apartheid on 7.5 million Palestinians, bombed seven countries over the past year, and has occupied Palestinian, Lebanese and Syrian territory.”

He emphasized that “Israel is the source of instability in our region.”

His remarks came as Israel has so far killed nearly 70,000 Palestinians since launching the genocidal war on Gaza on October 7, 2023, before a ceasefire deal was reached in the strip last month.

The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants and charged Netanyahu and former Israeli minister of military affairs Yoav Gallant with war crimes in Gaza.

After the eruption of the genocidal war against Palestinians, Israel also carried out strikes in Lebanon, Syria, Tunisia, and Yemen.

Israel also launched airstrikes on the headquarters of Hamas in Qatar, in what was described as an "assassination operation" that claimed the lives of several members of the movement as well as a Qatari security officer.

The regime also launched an unprovoked war against Iran on June 13, assassinating many high-ranking military commanders, nuclear scientists, and ordinary civilians.

More than a week later, the United States also entered the war by bombing three Iranian nuclear sites in a grave violation of the United Nations Charter, international law, and the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).

On June 24, Iran, through its successful retaliatory operations against both the Israeli regime and the US, managed to impose a halt to the illegal assault.
