Tehran – Saba:
Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmail Baghaei confirmed on Friday that the Zionist regime's attack on an ambulance in Tehran is a war crime.
In a post on X platform, Baghaei considered the normalization of Zionist war crimes a result of the regime's continued impunity, according to the Iranian Mehr News Agency.
He said: "Today, another example of the Zionist regime's flagrant violation of international humanitarian law occurred when a Red Crescent ambulance was targeted in Tehran, resulting in the martyrdom of three paramedics. This is a deliberate murder."
Baghaei added: "Under the four Geneva Conventions, attacks on aid workers, medical personnel, and relief vehicles carrying out humanitarian missions are strictly prohibited and are considered war crimes."
He continued: "The Zionist regime has a long history of attacking medical facilities, aid convoys, and medical personnel."
He added, "As a result of the continued impunity of the Israeli regime, serious violations of international humanitarian law have become commonplace. This is the result of the indifference and inaction of authorities legally and morally obligated to speak out and take action."
The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman emphasized that the UN Security Council must act immediately, in accordance with its responsibilities under the UN Charter, to halt the aggression and prevent further crimes.
He continued, "All countries, including Switzerland as the depositary of the Geneva Documents, the International Committee of the Red Cross, the Human Rights Council, the World Health Organization, and other relevant international bodies, have a shared responsibility to ensure compliance with international humanitarian law."
