Iran blasts US for vetoing Gaza ceasefire resolution again

For the third time on February 20, the United States used its veto on the Security Council to kill a resolution demanding an immediate cease-fire in the Israeli regime's war on Gaza, Mehr News reports.

"Hossein Amir-Abdollahian", the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Iran posted on social media to react to the US's repeated move in vetoing anti-Israel resolutions with the latest one drafted by Algeria saying that " The repetition of the vetos of the draft resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza by the US government should be called the 'diplomatic catastrophe of the century'."

The foreign minister further said that these repeated vetos by the US clearly show the international community that the United States has to be held to account for its continued support for the fake Israeli regime's genocide in Gaza and its war crimes in the West Bank.

The Iranian foreign ministry's spokesman Nasser Kan'ani, for his part, reacted to the US third veto, saying that "The US is neither part of the solution to the humanitarian crisis and disaster in Gaza, but it is the most important factor in the continuation of the crisis and lays the ground for the conflict expansion in the region."

Kan'ani added that the US votes in the UN endanger international security and undermine the UN peace efforts.
