TEHRAN – Chief commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Major General Hussein Salami says the Zionist regime will “definitely collapse” and the United States cannot save it by giving it artificial respiration.
Speaking here, the commander extolled the surprise attack by Palestinian resistance groups against Israeli forces in the occupied territories on October 7.
Gen. Salami said the Zionist regime’s “deterrence capacity” is exhausted.
Salami was speaking on the 35th day of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, the largest military operation by the Gaza Strip-based resistance groups against the occupying regime in decades.
“At least 1,500 Palestinians launched an attack, and during the attack and on the front line, which is the strongest defense line in the world, not a single Palestinian was martyred and not a single shot was fired, and all the weapons were disabled even though all the settlers were armed,” Salami said.
“The Israeli occupation army had stationed a reliable and strong defense system near the Gaza Strip but they failed to notice; no one noticed,” he stated.
The IRGC chief said the mystery of the Palestinians’ sneak passage through Israeli walls, embankments and information and security barriers is unknown and the secrets of the victory on October 7 will probably be revealed later.
“Today, the deterrence capacity of the Zionist regime has been broken,” Salami stated.
“The United States cannot save the regime; it cannot give it artificial respiration. The Zionist regime has no roots in the political geography of this region and will definitely collapse,” he said.
On Friday, Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman called for global action to stop Israeli atrocities in Gaza, saying the crisis in Gaza is a test of humanity’s conscience.
“Gaza is a test for humanity to test its conscience! No living and awakened conscience will remain silent after seeing images of the massacre of Palestinians in Gaza, the complete siege of over 2 million people, the bombing of hospitals and the killing of patients, and the siege of the children’s hospital,” Nasser Kanaani wrote in a post on X.
Kanaani said the world shouldn’t wait for the UN Security Council, because it has no will to put an end to the genocide in Gaza.
“Is the world waiting for the UN Security Council? This council has no will to stop the Zionist regime’s killing machine and end the genocide of Palestinians under the shadow of the U.S. veto and the support of England and France for the evil Zionist regime!”
The spokesman also slammed the U.S. support for Israel, saying it further emboldens the regime to commit crimes.
“This stain will never be removed from America’s forehead that with the full support of the U.S. government, the Israeli regime is freely massacring and committing genocide against the Palestinians!”
