Iran condemns killing of journalist Amal Khalil

Iran has formally condemned the killing of Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil, who was killed in an Israeli airstrike in southern Lebanon. Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei stated that Khalil was a voice for the voiceless and that her killing is not just a war crime but part of a cruel erasure of populations in pursuit of colonial ambitions. He called on the world to act against what he termed the 'continuing rule of cruelty' by the occupying regime. The statement extends condolences to the Lebanese people and all who value truth and justice.
