Iran calls to expel Israel from UN after strike on Syria Posted on 11/11/2024 A Syrian man passes by a bridge in Qusair, linking to Lebanon, which was destroyed by an Israeli airstrike. (AP pic) TEHRAN: Iran’s foreign ministry called Sunday for an arms embargo on Israel and the expulsion of its arch-foe from the United Nations, following a deadly strike in Syria. Foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said Tehran “strongly condemned the aggressive attack carried out today by the Zionist regime against a residential building” in the Damascus area. The strike on an apartment belonging to the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah, which is backed by Iran, killed nine people including a Hezbollah commander, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights war monitor said. Baghaei called for measures against Israel, including “an arms embargo” and its “expulsion from the United Nations”. Regional tensions have soared since the outbreak of the Gaza war in October 2023, triggered by the Palestinian Hamas militant group’s unprecedented attack on Israel. The conflict has drawn in Tehran-aligned militants in the region, and included rare direct attacks between Iran and Israel. Since Syria’s civil war broke out in 2011, Israel has carried out hundreds of strikes in Syria, mainly targeting army positions and fighters including from Hezbollah. Israeli authorities rarely comment on the strikes, but have repeatedly said they will not allow arch-enemy Iran to expand its presence in Syria. News
