Spokesman: Iran Fully Supports Freedom Flotilla


Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast said on Sunday that Tehran fully supports the anti-siege activists known as “Freedom Flotilla”, which are ferrying aid to the blockaded Gaza Strip.

According to IRIB, Mehmanparast said that in line with its policy of defending the oppressed Palestinian nation, the lift of the tyrannical siege on Gaza and also full liberation of Palestinian territory, Tehran voices its all-out support and backing for the efforts of the group of pro-Palestinian activists to break the Gaza sea blockade.

The Turkish Istanbul-based Humanitarian Relief Foundation’s (IHH) bid in sending nine ships, carrying 1,000 pro-Palestinian international activists along with 20 million euros of all kinds of vital aid for those besieged in Gaza. It is the biggest aid convoy observed throughout history.

Meantime, referring to highly probable obstructionist acts by the Zionist regime to prevent Palestinians’ access to the aid, the Iranian foreign ministry spokesman reiterated that the Zionists’ attempt would be a clear violation of the internationally accepted principles and human rights, and is surely unforgivable move.
