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."

"A nation, whose home is usurped, whose family members are imprisoned and martyred, and whose farms are destroyed, enjoys the right to legitimate self-defense" the president continued.

Back to the inevitable

Meanwhile, Raisi addressed the death toll, which has exceeded 13,000, saying that the "killing of women and children does not translate into victory" and "has created an unprecedented atmosphere of anti-Zionist hatred across the world".

Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, speaking from the Lebanese capital of Beirut, warned yesterday that failing to comply with the four-day truce would breed consequences.

In an interview, he told Al Mayadeen: "If the truce does not continue, the conditions of the region will change and the scope of the war will expand," saying "We have previously warned that if the war continues, the opening of new fronts is inevitable. The Lebanese, Syrians, Iraqis, and Yemenis cannot stand by and watch what is happening," the top diplomat said.

Despite giving his insight on how a ceasefire would favor the Resistance, Amir-Abdollahian underlined that the Resistance would have the final say, noting that there are ongoing consultations with Qatar about this matter.

"The factions do not act on our behalf but work for the interests of their countries and the Arab nation".
