Israel has failed to achieve any objectives in war on Gaza: Iran
Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian says the Israeli regime has failed to achieve any of its stated goals after more than 160 days of a genocidal war on the Gaza Strip, stressing that the signs of the occupying regime’s historic defeat have become conspicuous.
Amir-Abdollahian, in a message released on Thursday night, felicitated the leaders of resistance groups as well as resilient and steadfast Lebanese and Palestinian nations on the advent of the holy Muslim fasting month of Ramadan.
In the message addressed to Secretary-General of Lebanon’s Hezbollah movement Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, Head of the Political Bureau of Hamas Ismail Haniyeh, and Secretary-General of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement Ziyad al-Nakhalah, the Iranian minister hailed all resistance forces for standing out against the “hateful and criminal Zionist regime.”
He went on to pay homage to “the respectable families of the martyrs and those wounded in the ongoing conflict, as well as to the resilient and steadfast nations of Lebanon and Palestine.”
“Muslims worldwide have welcomed this sacred month as the occupying regime of al-Quds continues to perpetrate crimes against humanity and genocide against the oppressed Palestinian nation, particularly the vulnerable women and children of this revered land,” he said.
“This comes whilst responsible international institutions, like the United Nations Security Council, have failed to adopt effective and deterrent actions aimed at halting the genocide being committed by the Israeli regime,” Amir-Abdollahian stated.
The top Iranian diplomat went on to denounce the inaction of the so-called advocates of human rights in the face of Israeli crimes across Palestinian territories, praising the “heroic, dignified, and historic resilience of resistance forces and the steadfast Palestinian nation against the regime that is armed to the teeth and emboldened by the US administration’s all-out support.”
Iran’s FM says the continuation of the Israeli regime’s war in the Gaza Strip in the fasting month of Ramadan sounds the alarm about the most unprecedented disaster of the century.
“In light of these dignified and honorable efforts, the Zionist enemy has failed to achieve any of its declared objectives, and the signs of this regime’s historical failures have become evident.”
“With sincere and unshakable faith in the assured fulfillment of God’s promise of victory, I solemnly commemorate the memory of all martyrs of the resistance front during these virtuous and luminous days and nights,” he concluded.
Since the start of Israel’s genocidal war following Operation al-Aqsa Storm by Gaza-based resistance movements on October 7, 2023, more than 31,000 Palestinians, including many women and children, have lost their lives.
The Israeli military offensive has left a trail of destruction in Gaza, leaving hospitals in ruins and displacing around half of its 2.4 million residents.
Israel has additionally enforced a comprehensive blockade on the coastal sliver, severing the supply of fuel, electricity, sustenance and water to the population of over two million Palestinians residing there.
