"Extensive American support, including the supply of heavy weaponry and munitions to the Zionist regime, will further complicate the situation," Iranian General said, conveying his concerns during a phone call with Turkey's Minister of National Defense Yaşar Güler.

General Baqeri emphasized the Zionist regime's increased pressures on Palestinians in recent weeks, as well as the regime's disregard for the sanctity of Al-Aqsa Mosque and its role in Palestinian suffering, according to the General Staff's Public Relations Department.

He stressed the necessity of taking serious measures to halt the ongoing crimes perpetrated by the Zionist regime, including their brutal attacks on civilians in Gaza and the urgent delivery of humanitarian aid, encompassing food and medicine.

General Baqeri expressed his belief that extensive American support, including the provision of heavy weaponry and munitions to the Zionist regime, constitutes the United States' involvement in the atrocities of the Zionist regime, contributing to the heightened complexity of the situation in Gaza and he warned about the potential consequences of such support.

Furthermore, General Baqeri urged the Turkish government to leverage all available means to help prevent the continuation of these crimes and to support the people of Gaza.

On his part, the Turkish Minister provided insights into measures undertaken by his country's government aimed at reducing tensions and halting the conflicts.

He affirmed Turkey's unwavering commitment to these efforts and assured that the country would persist in its initiatives.

According to Gaza’s health ministry, 4,137 people have been killed so far in Israeli attacks on Gaza including 1,661 children and 13,260 people were wounded.
