ran has called on the United Nations Security Council to deploy effective and comprehensive sanctions against the Israeli regime as a means of stopping its deadly atrocities across the West Asia region.

According to The Iran Project, Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs, Kazem Gharibabadi made the remarks during a UN meeting that addressed the issue of international adherence to the world body’s charter at The Hague on Monday.

He called on the Security Council to take “immediate” action towards deploying the punitive measures under Chapter VII of the charter, which obliges action against standing threats to peace.

“All governments should stop short of engaging in any economic, military, and arms cooperation with this regime,” the official asserted.

Gharibabadi strongly criticized the council’s failure in the face of the regime and its atrocities, citing the catastrophic situation across the Palestinian territories, which was worsening every moment.
