UNSC Held Hostage to US, Unable to Save Gaza: Iranian Spokesman

The spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry lamented the fact that the United Nations Security Council has fallen under the influence of the US and failed to fulfill its duties regarding the brutal Israeli war against Gaza.

Speaking to reporters at a press conference on Monday, Nasser Kanaani said the UN Security Council has sadly been held hostage to the US government when it comes to supporting Gaza.

The UNSC has proved to be incapable of fulfilling its duties to save the lives of Palestinians and ensure peace in Gaza which has been suffering from weeks of brutal Israeli strikes, he added.

Kanaani also criticized the US government for abusing the privilege of hosting the UN headquarters.
