President Rayeesi: Solidarity in Islamic Ummah to Destroy Zionist Regime

Rayeesi made the remarks on the sidelines of the International Quds Day rallies in Tehran on Friday.

He lauded the mass participation of the youths in the rallies, and said, “The important message of this participation is that it is the Palestinian youths, teenagers, and the resistance front that have taken the initiative in the field of action and are deciding the fate of Palestine’s long-running resistance.”

“The great movement that we are witnessing today in the form of demonstrations is the symbol of solidarity in the Islamic Ummah and will lead to the destruction of the Zionist regime,” Rayeesi said.

“As promised by God and the dear Prophet of Islam (PBUH), we consider the liberation of al-Quds to be definitive” he added.

Millions of Iranians from all walks of life took to city streets all over the country on Friday to show their full and everlasting support for the oppressed Palestinian nation against Israeli occupation and aggressions, specially its recent crimes against the Palestinians in the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

People in large groups of tens of thousands in Tehran and other cities across the country converged in main city squares on the International Quds Day to condemn Israeli occupation and attacks against the fasting Muslim Palestinians in Al-Aqsa Mosque.

The ralliers chanted ‘death to the US’ and ‘death to Israel’ slogans and showed anger over normalization of relations between certain Arab states and Israel.

In Tehran, demonstrators congregated at the University of Tehran, the site of Friday prayers for the past four decades.

Before the start of the rallies, Iran’s new missile, named Kheybarshekan, which has a range of 1,450km and enjoys high agility and is capable of striking its designated targets with pinpoint accuracy, as well as Zelzal missile and ‘Emad-3’ long-range missile which is a new generation of surface-to-surface ballistic missiles were displayed in Tehran.

Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) in a statement ahead of the International Quds Day underlined that the time has come to put an end to the usurper Israeli regime.

On Thursday, the IRGC in its statement invited the Iranian people to participate in the Quds Day rallies tomorrow.

The IRGC stressed that any compromise with the Zionist Israeli regime is doomed to failure and will be an unforgivable sin.

The IRGC further said that Resistance and support for the Iran-initiated Axis of Resistance is the only solution to the Palestinian problem.

The IRGC further stressed the need to expel the occupiers and the dismantling of the Zionist regime in the occupied territories, the return of Palestinian refugees, and holding a referendum as the solutions to the Palestine issue.

The IRGC further condemned the normalization of relations with the fake and child-killing Israeli regime by some Arab states as a repetition of the great historical mistake of the traitor Anwar Sadat which is doomed to failure and unforgivable betrayal.

The statement by IRGC further noted that the Israeli regime has reached its end.

The International Quds Day is an annual event opposing Israel’s occupation of Beitul-Muqaddas. Anti-Zionist rallies and demonstrations are held on the last Friday of Ramadan in Muslim and Arab countries around the world, specially in Iran, as well as a large number of non-Muslim states.

The International Quds Day was started by the late Founder of the Islamic Republic, Imam Khomeini, in 1979 as a way of expressing solidarity with the Palestinians and underscoring importance of the holy Quds to Muslims.
