TEHRAN, Oct 20 (NNN-IRNA) – A top Iranian military official, has urged regional countries to stop the United States from transferring arms and equipment to the Israeli regime, from its bases in the Middle East.
Chairman of the Chiefs of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, Mohammad Baqeri, made the remarks in a phone call with Qatar’s Defence Minister, Khalid bin Mohamed Al Attiyah.
Baqeri warned, if the Israeli regime continues its “brutalities,” any reaction will be possible from “resistance groups.”
In another phone call with Russian Defence Minister, Sergei Shoigu, Baqeri expressed grave concern over the continuation of the widespread violations against civilians in Gaza.
Shoigu said, Russia’s position on the need for a cease-fire and preventing harm to civilians was clear, and regretted that some Western countries blocked Russia’s initiative to end the crisis in the UN Security Council.
The Israeli regime not only bombarded Gaza with hundreds of airstrikes daily, it also lays a blockade that cut off water, electricity, fuel and other supplies to Gaza.
The conflict has killed more than 4,000 Palestinians, so far, including 1,413 children and 806 women, with approximately 3,420 civilians among the dead.– NNN-IRNA
