Statement on Efforts to End the Genocide in Gaza

In the Name of God the Most Compassionate the Most Merciful

Recalling the contents of its statement dated 6 October 2025 concerning the cessation of genocide in Gaza, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs reaffirms that the Islamic Republic of Iran has consistently supported every measure and initiative aimed at halting the genocidal war, ensuring the withdrawal of occupying forces, enabling the entry of humanitarian assistance, securing the release of Palestinian prisoners, and realizing the fundamental rights of the Palestinian people.

As a supporter of the legitimate resistance of the Palestinian nation in its pursuit of the right to self-determination, the Islamic Republic of Iran has, over the past two years, employed all its diplomatic capacities—particularly within the framework of regional mechanisms, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, and the United Nations—to exert pressure upon the Zionist regime and its backers to end the genocide and withdraw the occupiers from Gaza.

Honoring the memory of the great martyrs of the Resistance, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs underscores the responsibility of the international community to prevent the occupying regime’s violations of its obligations, and calls upon all parties to remain vigilant and alert to the deceit and duplicity of the Zionist regime.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs once again stresses that the cessation of crimes and genocide in Gaza does not in any way relieve States and competent international institutions of their shared legal, humanitarian, and moral duty to pursue justice through the identification and prosecution of those who ordered and perpetrated war crimes, genocide, and crimes against humanity in the Gaza Strip, with the aim of bringing an end to the decades-long impunity enjoyed by the Zionist regime.
