In its frantic quest to set the region ablaze and start a large-scale war, the Israeli occupation entity, on the morning of Saturday, 26 October, launched an attack on the Islamic Republic of Iran, targeting a number of sites in three Iranian provinces and killing four military personnel.

I will be very brief. The representative of the United States Administration, which destroyed the city of Raqqa under the excuse of combating terrorism, killing tens of thousands of its residents and burying them under the rubble of its buildings, is a supporter of terrorism. It created terrorism, i…
I did not have the intention of taking the floor again, but what the representative of the United States Administration said made me do so. I will be brief.
In every meeting, the representative of the United States Administration tries to find false excuses and misleading allegations to justify the…
For more than 70 years, our region has suffered from the continued Israeli occupation of Arab territories in Palestine, Syria and Lebanon and from the brutal acts of aggression and systematic crimes that the occupation authorities have continued to commit.
