Hours after the massacre that the Israeli occupation committed against defenseless civilians in al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian took to X to further call on leaders to put an end to "Israel's" crimes.

Amir-Abdollahian stressed that "the time has come for global human unity against this [Israeli] fake regime that is more abominable than ISIS and its killing machine."

While his entire post was in Farsi, the top Iranian diplomat ended it with: "Time is OVER," in English.

پس از جنایت هولناک رژیم صهیونیستی در بمباران و قتل‌عام بیش از هزار نفر از زنان و کودکان بی‌گناه در بیمارستان #المعمدانی زمان برای اتحاد جهانی بشریت علیه این رژیم جعلی منفورتر از داعش و ماشین کشتارش فرارسیده است.

Earlier, the Health Ministry of Gaza reported that over 500 people were martyred in an Israeli strike on al-Ahli Arab Hospital that was housing over a thousand people, including Palestinian refugees, patients, and media personnel. Following the massacre, a number of countries, international bodies, and organizations condemned the savage attack committed by the Israeli occupation against defenseless civilians.

Meanwhile, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi warned that "the flames of US-Israeli bombs dropped this evening on the Palestinian victims injured at the... hospital in Gaza, will soon consume the Zionists," according to IRNA.

It is noteworthy that Amir-Abdollahian had recently revealed in an interview for IRNA that preemptive measures against "Israel" are possible in the coming hours amid the ongoing Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip.

He emphasized that "Israel" is running out of time regarding its continued attacks on the Gaza Strip, adding that "Netanyahu must be stopped."

On Sunday, the Iranian Foreign Minister wanted that "if the crimes of the Zionists do not stop and the current criminal attacks against the citizens of Gaza do not end, no one can guarantee that the scope of the crisis will not expand."

Amir-Abdollahian also told Al Mayadeen's correspondent on Thursday that Iran continues to strongly support the Palestinian Resistance, emphasizing that in light of the ongoing Israeli aggression, war crimes, and the siege on Gaza, other fronts joining the confrontation against "Israel" is possible.
