The Deputy Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps in Iran, Brigadier General Ali Fadavi, said the Israeli occupation is set on a downhill track toward its demise after it expanded the war to include multiple fronts across the region.
On the sidelines of the Martyrs' Forum, Brigadier General Fadavi told Al Mayadeen that "the Americans and Israelis are fearful, and they have become certain that Israel will not [last] to see its eightieth year."
Fadavi explained that "Israel" has been hellbent on committing crimes for 75 years, but today the Israelis are anxious, furious, and flailing to save face "uttering nonsense".

Kanaani: Fighting Israeli genocide national interest of respective Resistance groups
Earlier today, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Nasser Kanaani emphasized that Iran has consistently warned of the risk of escalating regional tensions into a full-blown war.
This escalation is attributed to the persistent assaults by "Israel" on the Palestinian people and the comprehensive backing provided by the United States for the ongoing Israeli genocide against Palestinians in Gaza and the occupied West Bank, Kanaani added.
"Re-emphasizing the importance of maintaining peace, stability, and security in the region, the Islamic Republic of Iran believes that war in Gaza is not the solution and ending the attacks of the Zionist regime on Gaza and an immediate ceasefire can be the basis for the return of peace to the region," he stressed.
In response to US accusations against Iran in the recent drone attack that resulted in the death of three US troops in Jordan, Kanaani was quoted as saying, “As we have clearly stated before, the resistance groups in the region are responding [to] the war crimes and genocide of the child-killing Zionist regime and… they do not take orders from the Islamic Republic of Iran.”
“These groups decide and act based on their own principles and priorities as well as the interests of their country and people,” he further stressed.
Kanaani added that the US unfounded accusations were stimulated by “specific political goals to reverse the realities of the region” and were “influenced by third parties, including the child-killing Zionist regime."
"Iran monitors developments in the region with readiness and vigilance, and the responsibility for the consequences of provocative accusations against Iran rests with the perpetrators of such baseless claims," he concluded.
