Tehran: Iran's Supreme Leader, Ali Hosseini Khamenei, has urged Muslim nations to halt oil and food exports to Israel in an attempt to halt the ongoing bombardment of Gaza, according to reports from Iranian state media.

Khamenei also placed blame on the West for the current humanitarian crisis in Gaza, asserting that they have tarnished their reputation in global public opinion.

Speaking about the situation in Gaza, Khamenei praised the resilience of the people, stating, "People of Gaza have mobilised the public’s conscience by their patience. Look at what’s happening in the world.” He highlighted the protests against Israel and the United States in various countries, including the UK, France, Italy, and the US, as evidence of the international outcry against the attacks.

Khamenei emphasized that the responsibility for the plight of Gaza extends beyond the Zionist regime, pointing fingers at the United States, France, and the UK. He criticized these nations, saying, "They have lost their credibility and really there is no remedy for them as they cannot justify Israel’s attack."

As of the latest update, the conflict in Gaza, which began on October 7, has led to the tragic loss of at least 8,525 Palestinian lives due to Israeli attacks.
