Why it matters:

President Masoud Pezeskian warned that Tel Aviv’s actions, emboldened by impunity and Western backing, has grown more reckless in its regional assaults.

What he's saying:

Pezeshkian slammed Israeli regime of launching strikes on multiple Muslim countries under the guise of self-defense.

He said the international community’s condemnations are hollow, while the “killing machine” continues unchecked, even after rulings from international courts.

Iran's President called for holding Israeli leaders accountable and urged Arab and Islamic nations to unite against “systematic terrorism.”

The big picture:

Pezeshkian’s remarks reflect growing frustration with the failure of international mechanisms to curb Israeli military aggression.

Gaza has endured horrific crimes that have tested the conscience of humanity over the past two years. The expansion of violence to Qatar signals a dangerous escalation with Western complicity for enabling Israel’s actions.
