According to the Iran News Agency, the Ambassador and Permanent Representative of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the United Nations (UN), Amir Saeid Iravani said “In a further heinous crime, on 22 October 2024, in an outrageous and deliberate strike, Israel assassinated Dr. Ali Heidari, an Iranian physician and relief worker, in Beirut. Dr. Heidari was performing life-saving duties, providing critical medical care to the wounded and assisting those in dire need. His assassination is not only a despicable act of violence but also a blatant violation of the 1949 Geneva Conventions, which expressly prohibit attacks on hospitals and medical personnel. This constitutes a war crime under international law.”
Amir Saeid Iravani added that the ongoing genocidal bombing of Gaza by the Israel Defense Forces was not only a blatant violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Lebanon but also a direct assault on the efforts of the international community to uphold the very core of international humanitarian law. He also added that since the launch of the Israeli regime’s genocidal campaign in Gaza, followed by their unrelenting aggression and war crimes against Lebanon, the regime had ruthlessly targeted hospitals, medical facilities, and personnel.CLICK TO READ THE FULL NEWS HERE▶️▶️
