Iran: Zionists’ crimes in Gaza exposed moral decline of US, other supporters of apartheid ‘israeli’ regime

“The Zionists’ brutal and relentless crimes committed over the past 22 days in Gaza showed the moral decline of the US regime and other hidden and open supporters of the apartheid Zionist regime to the whole world and exposed their hypocrisy,” the ministry’s spokesman Nasser Kan’ani said in a Saturday post on X, formerly known as Twitter.

The Israeli regime has been bombarding Gaza since October 7, when fighters from the Gaza Strip-based resistance groups launched a large-scale operation against the occupying entity in response to its intensified crimes against the Palestinian people.

The death toll in Gaza has since exceeded 8,000, including more than 3,000 children, with more than 20,500 wounded.

Besides backing the Israeli regime’s war crimes in Gaza, the US has repeatedly used its veto power to prevent the United Nations Security Council from passing a resolution that would either unequivocally condemn the occupying regime’s atrocities or press it for a truce.

“The heinous and inhumane crimes of the child-killing Zionist regime against the oppressed Palestinian people in Gaza … have permanently diminished this regime in the conscience of world people and precipitated its decline,” Kan’ani added.

The spokesman, meanwhile, described the blow that was dealt to the occupying regime as a result of the Palestinian operation as an “irreparable defeat.” The operation resulted in the deaths of around 1,500 Israeli forces and settlers and captivity of hundreds of others.

“…the Zionist regime and its supporters are doomed to failure in this catastrophic genocide in Gaza,” he said.

In a separate X post, Kan’ani pointed to the Israeli regime’s imposing of a communication blockade on the coastal territory during its failed land invasion on Friday, saying the blackout was aimed at preventing the world from finding out about the regime’s losses.

“The murderous leaders of the child-killing Zionist regime are so unsure of the capability of their army that they have shut down Gaza’s internet simultaneously with their purported limited incursion into the region,” he said.

“This is aimed at preventing the world from witnessing their human losses and damage to their military as well as the grounding of the defeated army of the Zionist regime.”

The spokesman said Israel’s efforts to cover up its battle losses come while the “threadbare myth of the regime army’s invincibility has already shattered not only in the eyes of the world,” but also in the eyes of Israeli settlers due to the “irreparable defeat” imposed on it by Palestinian fighters.
