Tehran: Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei has made a public call for the international community to condemn Israel and hold it accountable for its actions, which he describes as flagrant atrocity crimes. He emphasized that such acts are grave violations of international humanitarian law and must be addressed without delay.
According to Islamic Republic News Agency, Baqaei highlighted the necessity of unequivocal condemnation for the crimes committed by the Israeli regime against Iranian citizens. He reiterated the call for accountability, stating that no person of good conscience can remain silent in the face of such cruelties.
The Judiciary reported on June 23 that Israel had launched an attack on Evin Prison, an act described as a blatant violation of international laws. Judiciary spokesperson Asghar Jahangiri detailed the aftermath on June 29, revealing that 71 people were killed, including administrative staff, military personnel, inmates, and their visiting family members. The attack also affected neighbors living near the prison, resulting in additional casualties.
Israel’s unprovoked war of aggression against Iran began on June 13, resulting in the deaths of over 600 individuals, including top military commanders, scientists, and civilians. The Iranian Armed Forces responded with significant force, causing widespread damage within the occupied territories.
The conflict escalated when the United States joined forces with Israel on June 22, coordinating attacks on three Iranian nuclear sites. This action, deemed a violation of international law, drew global condemnation. The U.S.-Israeli aggression continued for 12 days until a ceasefire was reached.
