Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi said on Saturday that the time had come for action over the conflict in Gaza rather than talk as he headed to Saudi Arabia to attend a summit on the war between Israel and Hamas militants.
"Gaza is not an arena for words. It should be for action," Raisi said at Tehran airport before departing for the summit of Arab and Islamic nations in the Saudi Arabian capital Riyadh.
"Today, the unity of the Islamic countries is very important," he added.
It is the first visit to Saudi Arabia by an Iranian head of state since Tehran and Riyadh ended years of hostility under a China-brokered deal in March.
"The summit will send a strong message to warmongers in the region and result in the cessation of war crimes in Palestine," Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian, who is accompanying Raisi, was quoted as saying by the Padolat government website.
"America says it doesn't want an expansion of the war and has sent messages to Iran and several countries [to this effect]. But these statements are not consistent with America's actions," Raisi said in the televised comments at Tehran airport.
"The war machine in Gaza is in the hands of America, which is preventing a ceasefire in Gaza and expanding the war. The world must see the true face of America," Raisi said.

伊朗總統表示加薩問題需要行動而不是言語
伊朗總統易卜拉欣·萊西週六表示，在前往沙烏地阿拉伯參加以色列和哈馬斯武裝分子之間戰爭的峰會時，現在是針對加薩衝突採取行動而不是空談的時候了。
「加薩不是言論的舞台。它應該是行動的舞台，」萊西在前往沙烏地阿拉伯首都利雅德參加阿拉伯和伊斯蘭國家峰會之前在德黑蘭機場說道。
他補充說： “今天，伊斯蘭國家的團結非常重要。”
這是自德黑蘭和利雅德根據中國斡旋協議結束多年敵對狀態以來，伊朗國家元首首次訪問沙烏地阿拉伯。
帕多拉特政府網站引述陪同萊西的伊朗外交部長侯賽因·阿米拉卜杜拉希安的話說：「這次峰會將向該地區的戰爭販子發出強烈訊息，並導致巴勒斯坦停止戰爭罪行。”
「美國表示不希望戰爭擴大，並已向伊朗和幾個國家發出了訊息。但這些聲明與美國的行動不一致，」萊西在德黑蘭機場的電視評論中說。
「加薩的戰爭機器掌握在美國手中，它正在阻止加薩停火併擴大戰爭。世界必須看到美國的真實面目，」萊西說。
