Tehran (ISNA) - Iran's President stated, "Removing the inhuman blockade of Gaza and preventing the ongoing genocide in this area requires immediate action by all Islamic nations, and the Islamic Republic of Iran is ready to take joint action with Iraq and all other Islamic countries in this regard".

President Ebrahim Raisi, in a phone conversation with the Prime Minister of Iraq, Mohammad Shia Al-Sudani, pointed out the dynamics and progress of the relations between the two countries in the recent period, and stressed the continuation of developing cooperation by taking advantage of the great capacities of Iran and Iraq.

Furthermore, while expressing the deep concern of the Islamic Republic of Iran regarding the inhumane actions and the killing of innocent people in Gaza, president Raisi said, "The Zionist regime is trying to avenge its defeat of the resistance forces on the battlefield by mass punishment and systematic crime against defenseless and innocent civilians".

President Raisi described cutting off water and electricity and preventing the delivery of fuel and food to the Gaza Strip as a clear example of war crimes against humanity and clarified, "What we witnessed in Gaza was the result of the accumulation of anger caused by the atrocities and crimes of the Zionists, but the leaders of the Zionist regime try to relate it to external factors".

He stated, "Removing the inhuman blockade of Gaza and preventing the ongoing genocide in this area requires immediate action by all Islamic nations, and the Islamic Republic of Iran is ready to take joint action with Iraq and all other Islamic countries in this regard".

Mohammad Shia al-Sudani, for his part, while emphasizing the continued development of relations between the two countries, appreciated the principled positions of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, the government and the nation of Iran in supporting the oppressed people of Palestine and said, "What is happening today in Gaza is a mass genocide and it is in retaliation for the great defeat that the Zionist regime suffered in the field from the warriors of the Resistance".

The Prime Minister of Iraq added, "The authorities of the Zionist regime are seeking to vent their anger on innocent civilians, and therefore all Islamic countries are obliged to use all their capacities to stop this process".
