Mr. President,

Unfortunately, over the past year, we have witnessed two attacks and acts of aggression by the Israeli-American regime coalition against our beloved country.

Members of the red crescent of Iran visited 6,515 locations to provide relief and humanitarian assistance. Nine Red Crescent Society relief workers lost their lives, and 87 people were severely injured.

Forty-nine ambulances and rescue vehicles were damaged, and three emergency relief helicopters were also damaged.

More than 56 Red Crescent Society facilities, including pharmacies and humanitarian warehouses, were damaged.

More than 350 healthcare centers, medical emergency bases, and the Pasteur Institute, which is responsible for producing vaccines for patients with special medical needs, were unfortunately damaged.

Furthermore, 993 educational centers, including schools, were affected. The most significant of these was the Minab School, which received international attention, where more than 168 students lost their lives.

We call upon all countries and international community to take action regarding the accountability of the hostile and aggressor countries, and to compel them to compensate the victims and survivors, restore the damaged vital infrastructure, and prevent the repetition of similar acts of aggression against Iran, and other countries.

Thank you.
