Khatibzadeh condemns deliberate killing of Al Jazeera correspondent by Israeli forces

Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh has strongly condemned the deliberate targeting of Ms. Shireen Abu Akleh, the famous reporter of Al Jazeera news channel in occupied Palestine by the Zionist regime forces.

Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh has strongly condemned the deliberate targeting of Ms. Shireen Abu Akleh, the famous reporter of Al Jazeera news channel in occupied Palestine by the Zionist regime forces.
Khatibzadeh extended condolences over the martyrdom of this senior correspondent to her family, Al Jazeera network and journalists who are committed to the cause of Palestine and the holy city of al-Quds all over the world.
The Iranian Foreign ministry spokesman described this criminal act by the Zionist regime as clear proof of the regime's lack of commitment to the role and place of the press, the media and journalists in promoting awareness for the public opinion.
Khatibzadeh noted that Zionism's propaganda machine and its affiliated outlets, in spite of their false claims, are afraid of the dissemination of correct news and truth and the Zionist regime will massacre reporters if needed.
Khatibzadeh urged international organizations, human rights bodies and international media unions to do an independent investigation into the martyrdom of Ms. Shireen Abu Akleh and demanded that the regime be held accountable for its crime.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman also described the Zionist regime's offer to probe the crime as being based on blame-game and as escape to forward which lacks any credibility.
