Iran condemned on Saturday what it described as a "savage massacre" of Palestinians in Gaza after 16 Palestinians were killed by IDF fire during clashes on the border.
Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Ghassemi condemned "the savage massacre of a large number of Palestinians by the racist military forces of the Zionist regime," according to the ministry's website.
The Iranian Foreign Minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, denounced in a tweet the "Zionist tyrants who kill the Palestinian pacifist demonstrators whose land was stolen."
