The Daily Guardian

Iranian Ambassador to India, Iraj Elahi said the current situation in West Asia is deteriorating amid escalating conflict between Israel and Lebanon, adding that there is no horizon in sight for the end of the "tragic trend" in Gaza.

Criticizing operations by Israel, Elahi alleged that Israel's "crimes" in Gaza and Lebanon are continuing while terming the recent assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh as a "terrorist operation inside Iran" for which his country has vowed revenge.
Speaking to a news agency, the Iranian envoy on Tuesday said, "Unfortunately, the situation in West Asia is not good. The crimes of Israel in Gaza and Lebanon are continuing. Recently, we have witnessed a terrorist operation inside Iran, the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, who was an official guest in Iran." He further stated that all Palestinians have been displaced from Gaza.
The Iranian envoy also criticized US' support to Israel and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
"The situation is escalating and deteriorating. Daily we are witnessing cases of innocent people increasing. 40,000 lives have been lost. So it is not just a figure.
More than 90,000 have been wounded. All the Palestinians in Gaza have been displaced...there is no safe place. Displaced people are targeted by Israeli forces," Elahi said.
