A senior advisor to Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei says the Israeli regime will never be able to eliminate the military and ideological power of the Resistance Front in Palestine, Lebanon and Yemen.
Addressing a meeting with Iranian Army commanders in Tehran on Monday, Brigadier General Amir Hatami said the Israeli regime suffered a defeat and political collapse after its aggression in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon.
He said the recent developments in the region and across the world exposed the “depth of conspiracy and malice of the Zionist-American axis with the direct support of Western countries and the deadly silence of international organizations.”
He said Israel was normalizing ties with regional countries before Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, launched by Palestinian resistance fighters on October 7, 2023, but the resistance of Hamas and Hezbollah in Palestine and Lebanon put an end to the regime’s plots.
General Hatami, a former defense minister, emphasized that Hamas and Hezbollah have inflicted a defeat on the Israeli army, which failed to free its captives and was forced to retreat and accept a humiliating ceasefire to avoid further casualties.
“The Zionist regime's security, military, political and economic position has been severely weakened and has suffered a significant decline in comparison to the time before Operation al-Aqsa Flood.”
Israel was forced to accept a ceasefire deal with Hamas on Wednesday. The long-awaited agreement went into effect on Sunday.
As part of the first phase of the ceasefire deal, Israel on Monday released 90 Palestinian abductees after Hamas freed three Israeli captives.
Hatami, the Leader’s advisor on Army affairs, further said the arrogant system has committed numerous crimes against the Iranian people in various fields, saying Iranians have managed to defeat all such plots.
He warned that the enemy seeks to wage psychological and media warfare to achieve the goals it failed to obtain militarily.
