Iran condemns Zionist regime's drone attack on ship carrying aid for Gaza

Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei has strongly condemned the drone attack by the Zionist regime on the ship Conscience in international waters off the coast of Malta. The ship was carrying food and humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip.

Referring to the ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip through bombardment and the imposition of famine and starvation on the residents of the enclave, Baqaei said the attack on Conscience, which has been carried out as part of the genocidal and colonial erasure plot against the Palestinian people aimed at ensuring the continuation of the food and medicine blockade against the innocent people of Gaza, is a blatant crime against the Palestinian people and a terrorist act against the security and safety of maritime navigation.

Baqaei underlined that depriving the wounded, the sick, and grieving children and women of Gaza of food, water, and medicine is a clear instance of a war crime and a crime against humanity and constitutes an assault on the foundations of international humanitarian laws.

The Foreign Ministry spokesperson described the US and other supporters of the Zionist regime as complicit in the crimes, reaffirming the Islamic Republic of Iran's solidarity with the oppressed people of Palestine in Gaza and the West Bank. He then called on the international community and Muslim countries to decisively condemn the Zionist regime and create the conditions to end the impunity of the regime's officials and to prosecute and punish them
