Speak­ing with re­porters out­side of Par­lia­ment yes­ter­day, Ho­sein spoke about the war af­ter the Gov­ern­ment pub­licly backed the US move to launch airstrikes on Iran. Ho­sein said the hu­man­i­tar­i­an toll of the war has been deeply trou­bling, par­tic­u­lar­ly dur­ing the holy month of Ra­madan.
