Iranian president says ‘time has come for action’ over Gaza conflict

Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi says the time has come for action over the Gaza conflict, Reuters reports.

“Gaza is not an arena for words. It should be for action,” he said at Tehran airport before departing. “Today, the unity of the Islamic countries is very important.”

Iran’s semi-official Tasnim news site said Raisi will propose that Muslim countries ban Israel from using their airspace and prevent the US from shipping weapons to Israel from their military bases in the region.
