During his address to the United Nations General Assembly, Iran's president expressed concern over Israel's recent strikes in Lebanon and emphasized the need for a swift response to prevent further escalation in the region. The president highlighted the urgency for the international community to intervene and halt the violence, calling for a permanent cease-fire in Gaza and an end to what he described as Israel's 'desperate barbarism' in Lebanon.
Israel's military actions in Lebanon have targeted sites linked to the Iran-backed group Hezbollah, resulting in a significant number of casualties. Reports from Lebanon's health ministry indicate that among the hundreds killed in the strikes, there were numerous women and children.
The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah has raised concerns about the potential for a wider regional crisis. The president's address underscored the gravity of the situation and urged immediate action to prevent further loss of life and destabilization in the area.
