Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian slammed on Wednesday the United States for vetoing the United Nations Security Council's resolution calling for a ceasefire in Gaza, stressing that Washington's move represents the "diplomatic catastrophe of the century."
"Continued veto by the US administration clearly creates liability for the White House for the forged Israeli regime unceasing genocide in Gaza and war crimes in the West Bank, Palestine. The world must hold the US accountable," the minister said in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Previously, the US Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield explained that her country believes that the resolution would not lead to sustainable peace and that it actually could be counterproductive.
