President Ebrahim Raeisi has said that the Israeli regime has fallen short of realizing all of the goals that it had sought by launching its ongoing war against the Gaza Strip.
The chief executive made the remarks in an interview in Tehran on Wednesday with representatives of five Arabic-language television networks, namely Lebanon’s al-Manar, Iraq’s al-Etejah TV, and the Palestinian al-Aqsa TV and Palestine Today as well as Yemen’s al-Masirah.
“Israel did not achieve any of its goals of occupying Gaza and eliminating the resistance,” he said.
Still referring to the war waged by the Israeli regime, Raeisi said, “What the Zionist regime has done shows that it has grown desperate in the face of the Palestinian resistance.”
The regime launched the war on October 7 following an operation, dubbed al-Aqsa Storm, by the territory’s resistance groups, which killed some 1,200 Israeli settlers and military forces and led to the captivity of hundreds more.
