Iranian Leaders Criticize Israel at UNGA

During the 79th session of the UN General Assembly, Iran's deputy foreign minister, Kazem Gharibabadi, urged the international community to take immediate action against Israel, citing systematic war crimes and calling for accountability for the violence against Palestinians. He emphasized that inaction equates to complicity and highlighted Israel's recent attack in Lebanon as indicative of its disregard for human life and international law. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi echoed these sentiments, condemning US support for Israel and expressing solidarity with Palestinians and Lebanese. Iran seeks to leverage the UNGA to isolate Israel diplomatically, with plans for reconstruction efforts in Gaza following humanitarian discussions led by Araghchi. Additionally, Iranian President Pezeshkian plans to voice Iran's stances on peace and security at the assembly and engage with global leaders on various issues. Both Iran and Syria have warned Israel about its aggressive actions, stressing the need for regional stability and accountability.
