The Iran Project : President Masoud Pezeshkian of Iran has called on the international community to stop Lebanon from becoming another Gaza.
According to The Iran Project, The Israeli regime’s intensified attacks on Lebanon, the president stated, carry the risk of dragging the entire region into conflict.
Pezeshkian is in New York to attend the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly.
He made the remarks in an exclusive interview with CNN on Tuesday, a day after Israel carried out its deadliest airstrikes on Lebanon since 2006.
“We must not allow Lebanon to become another Gaza at the hands of Israel,” Pezeshkian said.
“The events that are unfolding in Lebanon may turn into a regional conflict that could be dangerous for the future of the world.”
“Therefore, we must prevent Israel’s criminal actions.”
The Iranian president urged the UN Security Council to “take immediate action” against the “insane” Israeli escalation.
