Trump proposes 60-day Gaza ceasefire plan

In a Truth Social post, Trump stated, “Israel has agreed to the necessary conditions to finalize the 60-day CEASEFIRE.”

He noted that representatives from Qatar and Egypt will deliver the proposal to Hamas, according to Press TV.

Urging acceptance, Trump warned, “I hope, for the sake of the Middle East, that Hamas accepts this deal, as it will not get better—things will only worsen if rejected.”

Hamas has not yet commented on the proposal. The movement says any ceasefire depends on Israel committing to end the war, fully withdrawing from Gaza, and allowing unrestricted aid access.

A previous two-month ceasefire collapsed in March after Israel refused to implement the second phase of the agreement.

A high-ranking Hamas official said on Tuesday that the Palestinian Resistance movement was ready and determined to enter a new round of indirect negotiations with Israel, intending to end the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and reach a permanent ceasefire.

“We are ready and serious to reach an agreement in case the factors required for ending the war are clearly stated. We will be prepared to agree to any proposal,” Taher al-Nunu stated.

The remarks came a day after Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty said that Cairo is working on a new Gaza deal that includes a 60-day ceasefire in exchange for the release of some Israeli captives and the rapid entry of humanitarian aid into the besieged coastal territory.

“Israel’s stubbornness prevents the entry of aid to Gaza. It is unacceptable to continue linking the humanitarian and military sides in Gaza,” he stated.

At least 56,531 Palestinians have been killed, mostly women and children, and another 133,642 individuals injured in the brutal Israeli onslaught on Gaza since October 7, 2023.

The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants last November for Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former minister of military affairs Yoav Gallant, citing war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.

Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the besieged coastal territory.

Yemen strikes Israel”s Ben Gurion Airport with missile

The Yemeni army says it has carried out several retaliatory operations against Israel, striking sensitive targets deep inside the occupied Palestinian territories.

The missile force of the Yemeni Armed Forces used a Palestine 2 hypersonic ballistic missile to attack the airport, the Yemeni Armed Forces said in a statement issued on Tuesday night.

The operation successfully achieved its goal, causing a large number of Israelis to flee to shelters and halting airport operations.

According to Press TV, Yemen”s Armed Forces spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Saree said that the UAV force of the Yemeni Armed Forces also struck sensitive targets belonging to the Israeli enemy in the areas of Yaffa, Ashkelon, and Eilat in the occupied Palestine using three drones.

He said the Yemeni army will continue its operations in support of the oppressed Palestinian people in Gaza, noting that the people of Yemen will not abandon their duties towards Palestinians.

Saree stressed that the army”s operations will continue until the Israeli aggression against Gaza stops and the siege of the territory is lifted.

As the genocidal war on Gaza escalated, the Yemenis enforced a strategic blockade on essential maritime routes, intending to obstruct the delivery of military supplies to Israel and urge the international community to take action regarding the ongoing humanitarian emergency in Gaza.

Iran”s acceptance of ceasefire new opportunity for diplomacy

Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has stressed that Iran’s acceptance of the request to stop the war imposed by the Israeli regime has provided a new opportunity for comprehensive diplomacy, adding that there is no doubt that West Asia is on the threshold of a historic crossroads which is continuing endless violence or moving towards a lasting peace.

“Now is the time for the Islamic world to think about a sustainable future instead of short-term policies,” Araghchi wrote in an article in the An-Nahar newspaper.

The full text of Araqchi’s article in An-Nahar is as follows:

Decades ago, when the Palestinian issue was first framed as a “central cause” in the Islamic world and the Arab sphere, few could have imagined that Iran would one day find itself at the heart of this cause, playing a decisive and active role. Today, just days after the Zionist entity called for a temporary halt to the war, the Islamic Republic of Iran has not only reaffirmed its influential position but has also demonstrated that a significant shift has occurred in the regional balance of power.

Regarding this shift, two pivotal points must be highlighted. First, the powerful resistance mounted by the Islamic Republic of Iran in defence of its sovereignty and territorial integrity—along with its decisive response to the Israeli aggression deep within the occupied Palestinian territories—has resulted in the collapse of the fabricated image of strength long projected by the Zionist entity, which has consistently relied on unwavering support from the United States and its allies.

Second, Iran’s response was based on Resolution No. 69/51 issued during the 51st session of the Council of Foreign Ministers of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), which was unanimously adopted by all member states—thus reflecting a unified stance and collective consensus.

The OIC member states deemed the military operations directed against the Islamic Republic of Iran to constitute an “act of aggression,” in accordance with Article 2(4) of the United Nations Charter. They also affirmed that the actions committed by the Zionist entity amount to a “war crime” under the rules of international humanitarian law.

Moreover, in another section of the resolution, fifty-seven Islamic countries called on the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to condemn the attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities by the United States and the Israeli entity. They also urged the agency to submit a report to the United Nations Security Council regarding this blatant and flagrant violation of international standards.

What distinguishes the current state of the Islamic Ummah and our region from the past is that the scene of national unity and cohesion witnessed within Iranian society following these attacks has now extended to both the regional and broader Islamic arenas. A comparable moment of collective solidarity has not been seen since 1969, when Zionist forces stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque and set fire to parts of the “First of the Two Qiblas.”

Although the UN Security Council at the time adopted Resolution 271 strongly condemning the actions committed by the Israeli entity, what had a more profound impact was the decision by the Organization of the Islamic Conference to convene its first-ever Islamic summit on the issue of Palestine.

In my opinion, the Rabat Summit in September 1969, which established the Palestinian cause as the starting point for joint Islamic action, is being reactivated today through the recent meeting of the Foreign Ministers of Islamic countries. This has enabled a converging awareness after decades, allowing Islamic countries to lay the foundations for a new, realistic dialogue that reflects the aspirations of their peoples—a dialogue free from domination by national, sectarian, or linguistic affiliations, as well as political disputes, traditional rivalries, and geopolitical competitions.

The principle of “protecting the collective rights of the peoples and states of the region” has become a shared focus in the positions of countries over the past two weeks, raising new questions: Has the Islamic world become convinced to take on an active role at a moment when a new, multipolar, and more independent world order is emerging? Have the issues of Palestine, dignity, and development not become a top priority in the collective concerns of the region’s countries and Islamic societies?

The past fifteen days, or the “Days of Empowerment,” have on one hand tested the cohesion of Iran’s deterrence strategy and regional diplomacy, and on the other hand served as a measure of the seriousness of the Islamic world in confronting shared threats. For the first time since the Organization of Islamic Cooperation summit in Rabat, the Islamic world is shaping a new Islamic discourse characterized by realism and strength, with no member state left behind.

The fundamental pillar of deterrence is now embodied in cooperation among the countries of the region. Consensus in confronting shared threats, understanding on regional stability, economic security, and combating all forms of terrorism constitute the four cornerstones around which diplomatic negotiations should be conducted.

The Islamic Republic of Iran’s response to the call for a ceasefire opens a new window for comprehensive diplomacy, offering all parties interested in peace an opportunity to reassess their approaches. However, entering negotiations and the success of diplomacy require the consideration of fundamental conditions.

The first steps on this path involve addressing the issues of “ensuring security” and “achieving justice.” Ensuring security can only be realized by legally formalizing the call for a ceasefire and requiring the aggressor to provide guarantees against future use of violence—an element that was absent in the cases of Gaza and Lebanon. This absence led to the Zionist entity’s continued violations of the agreed ceasefire and its disregard for stability in the Mediterranean region.

At this point, the UN Security Council must fulfil its responsibilities as mandated by the United Nations Charter and act swiftly and decisively to secure the necessary guarantees from the aggressor. There is no doubt that influential Security Council members such as China, Russia, and European countries, alongside nations like Brazil and Japan—which consider the protection of international peace part of their duties—can play a constructive role in achieving this goal.

I must point out that my country, Iran, has long advocated for a Middle East free of nuclear weapons to ensure regional security and has demonstrated its commitment to this approach. Alongside this vision, it is essential to focus on collective consensus among Islamic countries and to work on formulating economic development models—through initiatives such as investment and regional trade agreements—as tools to ease tensions under current circumstances.

Regarding the pursuit of justice, the idea presented in paragraph 2 of Resolution 69/51 issued by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation is valid; the International Atomic Energy Agency’s explicit condemnation of the attacks carried out by the Israeli entity and the United States on Iran’s peaceful nuclear facilities—such as Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan—should translate into practical and enforceable measures. It should not be forgotten that the demand for this condemnation arises in the context of assaults targeting facilities fully subject to the safeguards of the International Atomic Energy Agency.

Ensuring security and achieving justice can be viewed as a starting point in a long journey that would link the “moment of ceasefire” to the “horizon of sustainable peace.” There is no doubt that the West Asian region stands today at a critical historical crossroads: either continuing a never-ending cycle of violence or moving toward a firmly established peace. It is high time for the Islamic world to contemplate a more stable and sustainable future instead of relying on short-term policies.

In the same context, the second step on the path to peace is closely linked to the pivotal position of Lebanon and Palestine as two countries within the Islamic world. This approach requires that the regions of Gaza and Lebanon—both of which have been the most affected by aggression, killing, and systematic occupation over the past year and a half—receive special attention from all parties involved.

The Islamic Republic of Iran, like all Islamic countries, views the immediate cessation of aggression and occupation against Gaza and Lebanon as the fundamental condition for managing the conflict, alongside urgent humanitarian aid and serious international involvement in the reconstruction of these two regions.

Alongside the constructive practical steps mentioned, the issue of establishing and formulating an executive framework or platform must be taken into consideration. The creation of a legal and human rights body—such as an “Islamic Human Rights Court”—based on legal principles recognized within the Islamic world, like the 1990 Cairo Declaration, could serve as a complementary requirement in this context.

This court, much like the European Court of Human Rights, should receive broad international support. Establishing such a mechanism would enable the member states of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation to play a more effective role in the path of solidarity and collective action.

Turkey’s current presidency of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation presents an opportunity to form a preparatory committee to draft the statute as soon as possible, and to lend an organized and institutional character to the cooperation between the Islamic world and international institutions—such as the International Criminal Court—by focusing on specific cases like the Gaza issue.

From the perspective of the Islamic Republic of Iran, collective peace and stability in West Asia—a region free of nuclear weapons—is not only possible and within reach through joint cooperation focused on shared destiny, but it is also essential.

Israel illegally used Iraq”s airspace to attack Iran

The Zionist regime repeatedly used Iraqi airspace during its attacks on Iranian territory—an action that has drawn criticism from officials in Baghdad.

Al-Sudani stated that the violation of Iraqi airspace by the Zionist regime is a breach of Iraq”s sovereignty and a breach of the UN Charter. “We have officially submitted a complaint to the UN Security Council regarding this matter.”

He emphasized that Iraq pursues a balanced diplomatic approach and has conveyed its messages to its allies, stressing that its sovereignty is not negotiable.

Commenting on the provocative rhetoric of U.S. and Israeli officials, Al-Sudani warned that attempts to destabilize the Islamic Republic of Iran carry dangerous consequences for the entire region.

The Iraqi Prime Minister further stated that an expanded war could have harmed Iraq’s security and stability and impacted energy supply and oil exports to regional countries. “The Grand Religious Authority in Najaf issued a statement warning of the dangers of continued war, and the government successfully kept Iraq out of direct involvement.”

Iran remains fully prepared to counter any renewed aggression

Iran”s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Seyed Abbas Araghchi, and his Greek counterpart, Giorgos Gerapetritis, held a telephone conversation this Tuesday afternoon to discuss the latest regional developments following the cessation of the Zionist regime’s military aggression against Iran.

The Iranian Foreign Minister touched upon the flagrant violations of the United Nations Charter and international law by the Zionist regime and the United States in breaching Iran’s territorial integrity and national sovereignty. Araghchi underscored the necessity for all states to condemn the military aggression of Israel and the United States against Iran. He warned that indifference toward such blatant violations by Israel and the United States—including their breach of the non-proliferation regime and Security Council Resolution 2231—would entail irreparable consequences for international peace and security.

Araghchi recalled the Zionist regime’s military aggression, carried out in coordination and collusion with the United States in the midst of Iran-U.S. negotiations, describing it as a grave blow to the very essence of diplomacy. He further emphasized that the continuation of impunity for the Zionist regime with regard to heinous crimes committed in the region, especially the genocide in Gaza, is a primary driver of growing insecurity in West Asia.

He stressed that the resolute military operation undertaken by Iran’s armed forces was an exercise of the inherent right of self-defense in accordance with Article 51 of the United Nations Charter, and came in response to the military aggression by the Zionist regime and the United States against Iran’s territorial integrity and national sovereignty, as well as the dangerous attack on Iran’s peaceful nuclear facilities. Araghchi affirmed that the Islamic Republic of Iran remains fully prepared to counter any renewed act of aggression.

The Greek Foreign Minister extended condolences over the martyrdom of numerous Iranian citizens and expressed deep regret over the dire humanitarian situation of the Palestinian people, particularly in Gaza. He voiced hope that the current ceasefire would hold and that negotiations would proceed.

The two foreign ministers agreed to maintain regular communication and ongoing consultations.

How Iran struck heart of Israel’s military-scientific hub

Once a cornerstone of the Israeli regime’s scientific and military research, the institute, known for its close ties to the Israeli military-industrial complex, now lies devastated and inoperable.

According to Israeli media, the precision strike was “far from accidental” and targeted a hub of cutting-edge research tied to the Tel Aviv regime’s military, in fields such as physics, biotechnology, and artificial intelligence.

In a media interview with Channel 13, Alon Chen, president of the Israeli Weizmann Institute, acknowledged that Iranian ballistic missiles struck key buildings within the sprawling complex with extreme precision, causing extensive and irreparable damage.

His statement contradicted earlier claims made by some regime officials that the missile strikes were random and the damage caused was minimal.

“The destruction is extensive, and our initial assessments indicate damages ranging from $300 million up to half a billion,” Chen told the Israeli television channel.

He explained that the institute complex consists of two parts, a smaller residential one and a larger scientific one, adding that “Iran targeted the latter, which means they struck the heart of the institute, and the strikes were extremely precise.”

When reporters asked him about the regime’s censorship of images showing the extent of damage, Chen confirmed the restrictions, explaining that they aim to prevent Iran from obtaining information that could aid future attacks on these sites.

“It must be acknowledged that the Iranians have monitored the missile strike locations in Israel, not just in Weizmann, but in many military bases and strategic sites which we haven’t disclosed publicly so far,” he said.

Channel 13 reported that the situation is such that the Israeli settler community remains unaware of the precision and extent of Iranian attacks and the damage at many locations.

Despite censorship efforts, surveillance footage and photographs have emerged, revealing ballistic strikes on buildings and the severe destruction they caused.

Decades of research lost

On June 15, 2025, Iranian ballistic missile strikes inflicted significant damage on the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, located in the occupied Palestinian territories.

Multiple facilities within the institute’s complex were targeted and destroyed.

A newly constructed chemistry and material science laboratory, slated to open in 2025, suffered catastrophic damage, with some reports describing it as effectively destroyed.

An existing building dedicated to life and computational sciences was also severely hit, with fires erupting in at least one laboratory. This facility housed crucial research programs, including cancer research and regenerative medicine.

Among the hardest hit was the laboratory of Professor Eldad Tzahor, an expert in cardiac regeneration. His lab was completely demolished, destroying thousands of heart tissue samples, DNA and RNA collections, custom antibodies, and engineered viruses, representing over 22 years of research.

“In under 15 minutes, I saw images of a fire consuming the lab that has been my second home for 22 years. Three entire floors collapsed. Nothing is left — no data, no images, no notes, no history,” said Tzahor, describing the obliteration of his laboratory.

Approximately 45 research laboratories across the institute were damaged, affecting some 400 to 500 researchers. The impacted labs spanned life sciences, molecular biology, and neurobiology, resulting in the loss of irreplaceable materials such as tissue slides and cell lines.

The planetary sciences building, which houses geochemistry labs and other chemistry programs, was severely affected, not by a direct strike but by shockwaves from a missile hitting the adjacent chemistry building. Although not directly targeted, the facility was rendered largely unusable.

Overall, around 90 percent of the institute’s buildings sustained some form of damage, ranging from direct missile hits to collateral damage caused by shockwaves, shrapnel, and fires, including shattered windows, collapsed laboratory floors, destroyed electrical systems, and water damage from firefighting.

The strikes also disrupted access to shared scientific equipment, expensive, specialized machines used by multiple research groups, further exacerbating the institute’s colossal losses.

Physical damages are estimated between $300 million and $570 million, with rebuilding efforts expected to take years. However, the loss of decades’ worth of biological samples and research data is considered irreplaceable in many cases.

An institute with strong military links

The Weizmann Institute of Science presents itself as a “civilian” scientific institution, with much of its research openly published in academic journals. However, many of its projects overlap with military research, though these connections are not always publicly disclosed.

Israeli and Western media sources often emphasize the institute’s achievements in basic and applied sciences, such as physics, chemistry, biology, and mathematics, downplaying its ties to military applications.

Yet, the Weizmann Institute maintains clear, documented links to the Israeli military through collaborations with military contractors like Elbit Systems, research in artificial intelligence (AI), drone technology, dual-use innovations, and nuclear research.

In October 2024, the institute announced a partnership with Elbit Systems, a major Israeli military contractor, to develop “groundbreaking bio-inspired materials for defense applications,” explicitly linking the institute to military technology development.

Additionally, the Weizmann Institute has collaborated with Elbit Systems on projects including the development and supply of a space telescope for the Israeli Ultraviolet Transient Astronomy Satellite (ULTRASAT) program. While officially scientific, this program has acknowledged dual-use applications.

The nearby Kiryat Weizmann Science Park hosts leading Israeli arms companies such as Rafael, Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), and Elbit Systems, the three largest military contractors of the Israeli regime, creating a research and development environment where the institute’s work indirectly supports defense industries.

Many research programs at the institute are also funded by the Israeli war affairs ministry, further cementing its role within the military-industrial complex.

The Weizmann Institute is recognized as a key contributor to Israeli military capabilities in fields including artificial intelligence, drone technology, cybersecurity, materials science, quantum computing, autonomous systems, electronic tracking and jamming, and alternative GPS navigation.

These technologies reportedly support Israeli military operations, including airstrike coordination, battlefield medical advancements, and cyber defense strategies.

Graduates of the institute often serve in elite military units such as Unit 8200, the regime’s top signals intelligence and cyber warfare division, and the Talpiot program, which trains Israel’s foremost scientific and technological military experts.

Specific laboratories, like that of Professor Eran Segal, have been linked to developing algorithmic systems for battlefield decision-making and real-time surveillance used in Israeli military aggression, including in Gaza and Iran.

Some researchers also focus on protecting drones from eavesdropping attacks, directly contributing to military technology.

The Institute”s militaristic roots

During the 1948 war of aggression and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, known as the Nakba, the Weizmann Institute officially placed its equipment and campus facilities at the disposal of the Zionist paramilitary group Haganah, and later the newly established Israeli military.

Faculty and students at the institute began developing and producing a variety of weapons, including plastic explosives, rockets fueled by synthetic propellants, mortar and cannon shells, as well as ignition mechanisms for napalm, tear gas, and mines.

By the end of the Nakba in 1948, the institute had become a central pillar of the Military Science Corps. Alongside the Technion, it emerged as the primary military-scientific hub for the Israeli regime.

Senior administrators and faculty from both the Weizmann Institute and the Technion went on to lead the development of Israel’s military-industrial complex. They championed the idea of establishing Israeli scientific research as the foundation of military power, pushing for the indigenous development and manufacture of advanced weaponry.

In this pursuit, these scientists often clashed with the Israeli military leadership, which tended to favor a more conservative approach to military R&D and preferred procuring weapons from foreign suppliers.

Ultimately, the scientists prevailed, gaining significant influence. The Military Science Corps was separated from the general military command and transformed into the Research and Design Directorate, headed by Ernst David Bergman, one of the Weizmann Institute’s founders and senior administrators.

The mastermind of Israeli illegal nuclear program

The Weizmann Institute has long been linked to Israel’s clandestine nuclear program, particularly through Ernst David Bergmann, a former head of the institute and the first chairman of the Israel Atomic Energy Commission, established in 1952.

Bergmann is widely recognized as a key architect of Israel’s illegal nuclear weapons development. During the 1950s, the institute contributed to early nuclear research, including uranium extraction from phosphate deposits in the Negev Desert.

Many scientists working at the Shimon Peres Negev Nuclear Research Center (Dimona)—the core facility of Israel’s nuclear weapons program—were graduates or faculty members of the Weizmann Institute.

More recent studies, such as a 2014 joint report by the University of Cincinnati and Tel Aviv University, indicate that the institute played a crucial role in training scientists with expertise in nuclear physics, thereby laying the groundwork for Israel’s nuclear capabilities.

FBI investigations have alleged that the Weizmann Institute conducted research related to both nuclear and conventional weapons development, and may have covertly accessed US military systems.

For decades, Israeli media and officials have described the institute as a “technological backbone” and the “scientific and military brain” of the regime, underscoring its strategic significance.

Following last month’s successful missile strike, however, Israeli officials and media rapidly portrayed the institute as purely civilian, seeking to deflect blame onto Iran and portray the attack as unjustified retaliation against Iran’s civilian scientific programs and personnel.

Israel agrees to necessary conditions to finalize 60-day Gaza ceasefire: Trump

“Israel has agreed to the necessary conditions to finalize the 60 Day CEASEFIRE, during which time we will work with all parties to end the War,” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social.

“The Qataris and Egyptians, who have worked very hard to help bring Peace, will deliver this final proposal,” said Trump.

He also urged Hamas to accept the deal. “I hope, for the good of the Middle East, that Hamas takes this Deal, because it will not get better – IT WILL ONLY GET WORSE,” Trump added.

Despite international calls for a ceasefire, the Israeli army has killed more than 56,500 Palestinians in a deadly onslaught in the Gaza Strip since October 2023.

Last November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.

Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.

Destructive approach’ by EU a blow to diplomacy: Iran’s foreign minister

In a phone call with EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas on Tuesday, Araghchi denounced what he described as the leniency shown by some parties toward the lawlessness and crimes of the Zionist regime.

He emphasized the responsibility of all governments to condemn the military aggression by Israel and the United States against Iran.

Referring to the open support for the attacks by Germany and some other European governments, Araghchi warned that any statements that implicitly or indirectly justify such blatant violations of international law and the crimes committed by the Israeli regime would be tantamount to complicity in those crimes.

The Iranian foreign minister underscored the Iranian nation’s firm defense of its territorial integrity and national security in the face of Israeli and American military aggression. He described the attack on Iran’s peaceful nuclear facilities and the killing of Iranian civilians as an unprecedented blow to diplomacy, the non-proliferation regime, and UN Security Council Resolution 2231.

Araghchi said the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran are fully prepared to defend the nation’s sovereignty against any form of aggression.

“When the Zionist regime ceased its attacks, we halted our defensive operations as a gesture of goodwill. This clearly demonstrates that, unlike the warmongering Zionist entity, the Islamic Republic of Iran neither initiated the war nor seeks its continuation,” he added.

Araghchi also reiterated Iran’s distrust of the United States, stating that “the Israeli and US military attacks occurred while Iran was engaged in negotiations and diplomacy, and it was the US that betrayed the diplomatic process.”

According to a statement by the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Kallas underlined that there is no evidence suggesting Iran is expanding its nuclear program to develop weapons. She underscored the need for a diplomatic solution to the Iranian nuclear issue and expressed support for ongoing efforts to reduce tensions and promote regional stability.

سراج: آمریکا بزرگترین ناقض حقوق بشر است

به گزارش خبرنگار مهر، ناصر سراج معاون امور بین‌الملل قوه قضاییه و دبیر ستاد حقوق بشر جمهوری اسلامی ایران در دهمین کنفرانس حقوق بشر آمریکایی گفت: حقوق بشر برای اقدامات سلطه طلبان آمریکایی‌ها به کار می‌رود و حقوق بشر به ابزار سیاسی و انسانی تبدیل شده است.

وی ادامه داد: حقوق بشر آمریکایی ناشی از نگرش نژادپرستی است و از نظر مقام معظم رهبری حقوق بشر آمریکایی رد شده است و بارها تاکید کرده‌اند که ادعاهای آمریکا درباره طرفداری از حقوق بشر صرفاً یک بهانه و ابزاری برای فریب افکار عمومی و اعمال فشار سیاسی است. آمریکا در واقع به حقوق بشر اعتقادی ندارد و مدافع منافع خود و کمپانی‌های خود است.

معاون امور بین‌الملل قوه قضاییه خاطرنشان کرد: حمایت از حکومت‌های دیکتاتوری و اشغال نظامی افغانستان و عراق و کشتار صدها هزار نفر از مردم این کشورها حکایت از آن دارد که آمریکایی‌ها اعتقاد به حقوق بشر ندارند و در داخل کشور خود نیز به تبعیض نژادی علیه سیاه پوستان و رنگین پوستان ادامه می‌دهد.

سراج گفت: رهبری به فشار اقتصادی آمریکایی‌ها علیه کشورمان اشاره دارند و می‌گویند که حقوق بشر آمریکایی یعنی حمایت از ظلم و ستم و تبعیض و لغو آزادی‌ها در داخل و خارج از آمریکا و آمریکا با ادعای مدافع حقوق بشر بودن می‌خواهد قدرت نرم خود را در دنیا گسترش دهد و این ظاهر حقوق بشری به آمریکا کمک می‌کند تا سیاست‌های خود را در سطح جهانی توجیه کند و مشروع جلوه دهد.

وی با اشاره به استفاده ابزاری آمریکایی‌ها از عنوان حقوق بشر، گفت: آمریکا از اتهام نقض حقوق بشر علیه رقبای خود مانند چین، روسیه و ایران بهره می‌برد تا آنها را در موضع ضعف و انفعال قرار دهد و به این ترتیب سلسله سیاسی و اقتصادی خود را تحکیم بخشد، این رویکرد باعث شده تا در مقابل متهمان خود که ناقض حقوق بشر هستند؛ چشم پوشی کند.

معاون امور بین‌الملل قوه قضاییه تعریف حقوق بشر را مطابق منافع آمریکایی‌ها دانست و ادامه داد: حقوق بشر در سیاست آمریکا به ابزاری برای معامله‌گری سیاسی و اعمال فشار به کشورهای مستقل تبدیل شده است تا از این طریق خواسته‌ها و منافع آمریکایی‌ها به آنها تحمیل شود. همچنین با استفاده از رسانه‌های تحت کنترل خود، خود را به عنوان تنها مدافع حقوق بشر معرفی می‌کند در حالی که در عمل خود بزرگترین ناقض حقوق بشر است و جنایات گسترده‌ای را در داخل و خارج از کشور انجام می‌دهد.

سراج با بیان برخی از مصادیق نقد حقوق بشر توسط آمریکایی‌ها، ادامه داد: آمریکایی‌ها ۲۰ درصد جمعیت زندانیان جهان را در خود جای داده‌اند و خشونت مسلحانه و نابرابری از جمله بخش‌هایی است که به صورت آشکارا حقوق بشر در داخل آمریکا نقض می‌شود، همچنین حقوق زنان در آمریکا به شدت نقل می‌شود و از هر چهار زن آمریکایی یک نفر به شدت مورد ضرب و شتم قرار می‌گیرد.

وی در همین رابطه افزود: تبعیض نژادی توسط پلیس در آمریکا و همچنین زندان گوانتانامو از دیگر مصادیق نقض حقوق بشر است و البته حقوق کودکان نیز به شدت در آمریکا پایمال می‌شود؛ نقض آزادی بیان از دیگر مواردی است که در داخل آمریکا به عنوان نقض حقوق بشر می‌توان از آن یاد کرد.

معاون امور بین الملل قوه قضاییه حمایت بی قید و شرط آمریکا از رژیم غاصب اسرائیل از جنایت فلسطینیان را از دیگر موارد نقض حقوق بشر خواند و گفت: ترور فرماندهان ایران از دیگر موارد نقض حقوق بشر آمریکایی‌ها در عرصه بین‌المللی است. حمایت آمریکایی‌ها و حملات رژیم صهیونیستی به لبنان و غزه و جمهوری اسلامی ایران از دیگر مواردی است که او حقوق بشر را نقض می‌کند.

سراج در بخشی از سخنانش به حمایت‌های آشکار و پنهان آمریکایی‌ها از صدام در ۸ سال دفاع مقدس اشاره کرد و ادامه داد: در حالی که عراق به طور گسترده به بمباران شهرها و استفاده از سلاح‌های شیمیایی علیه غیرنظامیان پرداخته بود، آمریکا و متحدانش به جای محکوم کردن این اقدامات به حمایت از صدام حسین پرداختند.

معاون امور بین‌الملل قوه قضاییه تصریح کرد: نقش مهم در حمله رژیم صهیونیستی به جمهوری اسلامی ایران را آمریکایی‌ها ایفا کردند و صهیونیست‌ها فقط به نیابت از آنها این جنگ را شروع کردند. ورود آنها به این جنگ نشان دهنده ضعف ساختاری رژیم صهیونیستی و ترس واشنگتن از ایجاد جنگ فرسایشی داشت.

سراج گفت: در حملات اخیر رژیم صهیونیستی به خاک ایران صدها نفر از جمله زنان، کودکان، ورزشکاران، سالمندان و فرماندهان جان خود را از دست دادند و این‌ها مصداق بارز محروم سازی خودسرانه از حق حیات واقع می‌شود و هدف قرار دادن ساختمان صدا و سیمای جمهوری اسلامی ایران که محل استقرار خبرنگاران و کارکنان رسانه‌ای بود و همچنین بمباران بیمارستان کرمانشاه و ساختمان هلال احمر تهران به اماکن نزدیک به بیمارستان قلب شریعتی که مراکز درمانی امدادی هستند، نمایانگر بی‌توجهی کامل به الزام رعایت حرمت جان انسان‌ها است.

وی در بخشی از سخنانش یادآور شد: مطابق با ماده ۷۹ پروتکل اول الحاقی به کنوانسیون‌های ژنو و تفاسیر نهادهای حقوق بشری از ماده ۱۹ حقوق مدنی و سیاسی خبرنگاران غیرنظامی که در مناطق غیر مخاصمه قرار دارند به شرط آنکه مستقیماً در مخاصمه‌ها شرکت نکنند، مشمول حمایت‌های کامل از افراد غیرنظامی هستند و حمله به سازمان صدا و سیما که مشغول فعالیت بودند نقض حمایت از خبرنگاران است.

سراج که دبیر ستاد حقوق بشر جمهوری اسلامی ایران نیز هست، اظهار کرد: این ستاد ماموریت افشای نقض حقوق بشر آمریکایی را در مجامع بین‌المللی دارد. ستاد حقوق بشر ضمن محکومیت اقدامات ضد آمریکا در حمله به تاسیسات هسته‌ای ایران به نهادهای بین‌المللی شکایاتی مطرح کرده است و تلاش می‌کند تا صدای ایرانیان را به گوش جهانیان برساند.

Iranian, Tajik FMs discuss regional developments

Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has held a phone conversation with his Tajik counterpart, Sirojiddin Muhriddin, to discuss bilateral ties and the latest regional developments following the joint aggression by Israel and the United States against Iran.

During the phone conversation, which took place on Tuesday, Muhriddin once again condemned the military assault as a violation of fundamental principles of the United Nations Charter and international law.

He also conveyed condolences and solidarity from the people and government of Tajikistan to the Iranian nation.

Muhriddin emphasized that Dushanbe has denounced the attacks in international forums and bilateral exchanges, expressing confidence that the wise and resilient Iranian nation will overcome the current challenges with strength.

Araghchi, for his part, thanked Tajikistan for its stance, describing the unified position of regional and Islamic countries against the Israeli and U.S. aggression as a sign of shared awareness within much of the international community regarding the threats posed by Israeli lawlessness.

He also underscored the responsibility of the UN Security Council, the International Atomic Energy Agency, and other relevant international institutions to hold the genocidal regime accountable for its gross violations of international law.
