Iranian President Hassan Rouhani signed a law 'to counter the Zionist regime's hostile actions against peace and security,' Mehr reported.

According to the law, all executive organs of the country are obliged to take action within the general policies of the Islamic Republic and use regional and international capacities to counter the hostile actions of the Zionist regime including the crimes against oppressed people of Palestine, the Islamic countries and Iran.

The new law also confronts the role of 'Israel in disrupting the regional and international peace and security and its widespread and systematic violations of human rights, including war crimes, terrorist acts, electronic warfare, the use of heavy and prohibited weapons against civilians, human siege, settlements, displacement of Palestinian people, efforts to annex other parts of Palestine, the occupation of the Palestinian territory and parts of Syria (Golan), Lebanon and other occupied territories,' Mehr said.

The law was adopted by the Iranian parliament in open session on May 18, 2020, and was approved by the Guardian Council on May 20.
