A senior Iranian military official warned the United States of its heavy support for Israel in attacks against Gaza, the semi-official Tasnim news agency reported on Friday.

Chief of the General Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Mohammad Bagheri made this warning during a phone call with Turkish Defense Minister Yasar Guler on Thursday, in which the two sides discussed recent regional developments, especially the situation in Gaza.

Baqeri said that Washington's extensive support for Israel, including the provision of heavy weapons and ammunition, "amounts to the US government's participation in Israeli attacks against the people of Gaza and will further complicate the situation in the coastal enclave."

He called for serious measures to stop the brutal Israeli attacks against civilians in Gaza and to send humanitarian aid, including food and medicine, to the Strip.

Baqeri called on the Turkish government to use all its tools to prevent "Israeli crimes" and support the people of Gaza.

For his part, Guler spoke about the efforts made by his government to reduce tension in Gaza and stop the ongoing conflict, stressing that Turkey will continue these endeavors.

The ongoing conflict between Israel and Gaza, which has entered its fourteenth day, has led to the deaths of more than 5,000 people on both sides.
