Iran blasts Israel's 'savage' attack on Gaza, blames US support

Iran's Foreign Ministry denounced what it called Israel's "savage" attack on Gaza, blaming "unlimited US support" for Israel, the semi-official Fars news agency reported.

"Foreign Ministry spokesman Abbas Mousavi said on Sunday that Iran strongly condemned the Zionist regime's savage attack ... which martyred and wounded dozens of Palestinians, including women and children," Fars reported.

"Due to unlimited American support for this regime and the embarrassing silence of some Islamic governments, there is no end to Zionist crimes in the occupied Palestinian territories," Mousavi was quoted by Reuters as saying, referring to the surging cross-border fighting.
