‘October 7 attack is not a terrorist act’
The Iranian ambassador said, “We are ready for war, we are ready for any kind of aggression. We do not want war or escalating tensions, but if Israel continues to do this, we are ready. Iran supports Hezbollah and Hamas. “The attack by Hamas on October 7 was not a terrorist act, but a military operation against the Israeli occupation.”
He said, “Israel has committed genocide, not us. Israel is fooling people by showing that Hezbollah and Hamas are wrong. Hezbollah is a political organization and its ministers are in Iran’s cabinet, and Hamas is a resistance force, Iran is supporting both. The war can only stop if Israel and Palestine hold a referendum together.
Two faces of America: Iranian ambassador
Iran’s ambassador also attacked America and said that America has one face to show and another face behind it. They have supplied technology and weapons to Israel to carry out this genocide. If America was serious about talks, they should have stopped supporting Israel. On the scope for peace with Israel, the ambassador says, “We do not recognize Israel as a state, they are illegally occupying other people’s lands.
