On July 11, Iran formally welcomed Ireland's decision to ban the import of goods originating from Israeli settlements. Tehran described the move as a correct step and urged other Western countries to follow Dublin's example.
Speaking at a press conference, an Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson emphasized that Ireland's action demonstrates support for international law and UN resolutions concerning the Palestinian issue. Iran hopes other nations, particularly Western ones, will take similar steps to apply pressure on Israel.
Earlier, Ireland announced it would prohibit imports from Israeli settlements in the West Bank, deeming them a violation of international law. The decision came amid escalating tensions between Israel and Palestine.
Iran, which does not recognize the state of Israel, has consistently condemned Tel Aviv's policies toward Palestinians. Tehran views Ireland's move as a positive signal in advancing justice for the Palestinian people.
