WANA (Jun 26) – Iran’s foreign ministery spokesperson, Esmail Baghaei, in a message on X (formerly known as Twitter) condemning the massacre of 19 innocent people — including women, children, and the elderly — from among the relatives and friends of Iranian researcher Seyed Mohammadreza Sedighi by the Israeli regime wrote :

 

“In Astaneh-ye Ashrafiyeh, a small town in northern Iran, 19 innocent persons, including kids, women and elderly, were massacred by Israel’s American made projectiles thrown on the family home of Iranian researcher Seyed Mohammadreza Sedighi.

 

This is a brutal terrorist/war crime and an indication of Israel’s wicked enmity against Iranians.

 

The Zionist regime lies when it speaks of “security” and “self-defense.”

 

Killing the innocent is part of its established policy, though it is white-washed by its Western backers & apologists through institutionalized hypocrisy, and in disregard of fundamental norms of international law and Human Rights.

 

The people of Iran will neither forget nor forgive these heinous crimes.”
