Major General Yahya Rahim Safavi, the advisor to the Iranian leader for military affairs, declared Tehran's firm support for Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.
"We will stay with the Palestinian freedom fighters until the liberation of Palestine and Al-Quds," he stated.
Safavi expressed these views during a ceremony in Tehran known as the 6th International Conference on Solidarity with Palestinian Children and Adolescents, which took place on Saturday.
"We support Al-Aqsa Storm operation and we are confident that the Resistance Front also supports it," he added.
He also extended his congratulations to the Palestinian Resistance for the operation's success.
Elsewhere in his remarks, Major General Safavi noted that there was a tragic loss of Palestinian children's lives at the hands of the Israelis. He emphasized that this violence against Palestinian children and teenagers occurs while international organizations remain silent, with no apparent response from them.
The Iranian leader's advisor also pointed out that Palestinian children experience both mental and physical suffering in Israeli prisons. Additionally, some Palestinian children are placed under house arrest or forcibly expelled from their homes by the Zionist regime.
Arab parties hail operation, stand in solidarity with Palestine
Yemen's Ansar Allah movement asserted that Operation Al-Aqsa Flood has exposed the weakness, fragility, and impotence of the Israeli entity.
On his account, Ansar Allah Spokesperson Mohammad Abdul Salam extended greetings to the Palestinian Resistance.
He said, "We congratulate the Palestinian Resistance on launching Operation Al-Aqsa Flood against the Israeli enemy, emboldened by the support of the United States and normalization regimes, in its desecration of al-Aqsa, the detention of prisoners, the daily massacres, and the demolition of homes."
Abdul Salam called on the Arab and Islamic nations to support the Palestinian Resistance in this "decisive holy battle."

Concurrently, the Events Organizing Committee called for a rally in support of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood this afternoon at the Bab al-Yemen neighborhood.
Commenting on Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, the Secretary-General of Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq Qais Khazali said, “The operation has warmed our hearts, and we extend our prayers to the Palestinian people and their Resistance, wishing them victory and steadfastness."
On his part, Hadi al-Amiri, the Secretary-General of the Badr Organization, expressed his full solidarity with the Palestinian people, affirming full readiness to support them in reclaiming their violated rights.
He also called upon the Islamic and Arab nations to bear the moral responsibility on their shoulders, standing in full solidarity with the Palestinian people and supporting them on all fronts to pursue their struggle and achieve their goals of reclaiming their land and liberating their holy sites.
Head of the Supreme Council of Iraq Sheikh Humam Hamoudi said Operation Al-Aqsa Flood shook the occupation to its core with its boldness in defiance, emphasizing that "everyone is called upon to support the resistance."
On its part, the Syrian Social Nationalist Party (SSNP) congratulated the Palestinian people on the operation, which came at a very suitable time and place, greatly astonishing the crumbling Israeli entity and dismantling all its security apparatuses and military units in the face of the resilience, strength, and courage of the Resistance, which has transcended the besieged Gaza Strip.
The Movement of Society for Peace in Algeria called on the free people of the world to support the Palestinian Resistance, emphasizing that it closely monitors with great concern the developments on the ground in occupied Palestine.
Furthermore, the Moroccan Observatory against Normalization expressed its support for the operation and called for a support rally for the Palestinian Resistance outside the Moroccan Parliament.
Earlier today, the Commander-in-Chief of al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, Mohammad Deif, addressed Palestinians and Resistance fighters announcing the launch of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, starting with 5,000 rockets launched.
The leader said the operation comes in response to the Israeli occupation's desecration of al-Aqsa Mosque, as well as multiple assaults against women in its yards.
He also addressed the Resistance in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Iran, saying, "This is the day that fronts and banners shall unite."

Furthermore, he urged Algerians, Moroccans, Jordanians, Egyptians, and the rest of the Arab World to take action in support of the operation.
It is worth noting that the Resistance's operation comes in the context of continued and unchecked Israeli aggression against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and al-Quds, as well as a suffocating siege on the Gaza Strip.
