Iran's Army Chief Commander Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi (Tasnim)
Commander-in-Chief of the Islamic Republic of Iran Army, Abdolrahim Mousavi, confirmed that the signs of the demise and collapse of the Israeli occupation entity are fully visible.
Despite the aggression against the Gaza Strip and its ground operations, Mousavi said the Israeli occupation and its backers were helpless in the face of the Resistance and failed to make any progress.
In the context of the Israeli entity's collapse, he pointed out that the occupation was forced to negotiate with the Hamas movement and accept all its conditions in the truce mediated by Arab countries.
In his speech at a ceremony honoring the students of the School of Nursing, Mousavi stressed that Operation Al-Aqsa Flood brought attention back to the Palestinian issue, making it once again a prominent global issue.
He went on to say that the "perfect picture" of human rights claimed by the West and the United States had been shattered despite all their investment in said image. He went on to accuse the leaders in the US and other Western countries of racism

According to the temporary 4-day truce agreement, which the Palestinian resistance imposed after 49 days of war, humanitarian aid will enter the Gaza Strip, and the occupation will release 150 Palestinian women and children imprisoned in its prisons, in exchange for 50 Israeli captive women and children.
Earlier, during a meeting with senior Iranian officials and scientists, the leader of the revolution and the Islamic Republic of Iran, Seyyed Ali Khamenei, emphasized that "no one will be able to stand against Muslims and the forces of resistance if the Israeli occupation's crimes continue in Gaza."
Seyyed Khamenei blamed the United States for supporting the Zionist regime's policies, stating that the ongoing events were a result of Washington's policies.
He added that the Israeli occupation, no matter what it does, "will not be able to compensate for the humiliating defeat it suffered": emphasizing that "Israel" must stop its airstrikes against Gaza at once.
In turn, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi stated that "Israel" is close to realizing that it is nowhere near achieving all of the goals it sought after launching its war on Gaza.
"Israel did not achieve any of its goals of occupying Gaza and eliminating the Resistance," he said, adding, "What the Zionist regime has done shows that it has grown desperate in the face of the Palestinian resistance."
Raisi further described Operation Al-Aqsa Flood as the Palestinian people's "legitimate defense of their right," prompted by "[Israel's] incessant oppression."
