TEHRAN – Intelligence Minister Esmaeil Khatib on Sunday praised Iran’s success in taking action against Israel inside and outside the occupied territories.  

“By God’s grace, the Islamic Republic of Iran has achieved major success in counteracting the Zionist regime’s domestic and foreign measures and operations,” the intelligence minister stated.

Khatib said Iran’s success in thwarting Israeli plots results from the cooperation and synergy among the Iranian intelligence and security organizations.

In remarks on April 22, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei urged the Muslim world to seize the great opportunity provided by the acceleration of the decline of the Zionist regime which has begun since a couple of years ago.

“Several decades ago, (David) Ben-Gurion, one of the founders of the fake regime, said ‘We will be destroyed whenever our deterrent power ends.’ The world is currently witnessing this reality and if nothing happens, the end of the usurping regime is close. This too is one of the blessings that has risen from the sacrifices of the devoted Palestinian youth in the West Bank and other occupied areas,” the Leader said in a meeting with a group of Iranian officials and ambassadors from the Islamic countries here.
