Iran’s DM Praises Palestinians’ Victory over Zionist Enemy

Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi lauded the great victory achieved by the Palestinian resistance groups in the recent Israeli war on the Gaza Strip.

Speaking on Thursday, Vahidi said the victory of Palestinians humiliated the United States and Europe as the main supporters of the Zionist regime of Israel.

He said a main achievement of the Palestinian fighters was that Israel’s Iron Dome missile system collapsed under their “crushing and effective rocket response.”

Vahidi noted that the Gazans’ courage and perseverance prompted division among Israeli officials as to the continuation of the war.

Also on Thursday, Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Saeed Jalili said in a statement that Israel’s defeat shows the growing power of resistance.

A Cairo-mediated ceasefire agreement, which took effect on Wednesday, ended the Israeli attacks, which started on November 14, killing more than 165 Palestinians and injuring about 1,269 others.

On Wednesday, Egypt announced that the Israeli regime and the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas had reached a ceasefire agreement.

Under the deal, the Palestinians and Israelis agreed to end all hostilities against each other. But the Israeli regime did not agree to lift the blockade of the Gaza Strip.
