TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) spokesman has reminded the Tel Aviv regime of a certain defeat it will have to suffer in a war that may break out as a result of pressing ahead with illegal settlement construction in Palestine, saying it will result in Israel’s annihilation.
Speaking at a meeting in Iran’s northwestern city of Oroumiyeh, head of the IRGC Public Relations Department General Ramezan Sharif said the Zionists’ decision to continue settlement projects on occupied Palestinian territories will "definitely provoke a reaction”, noting that a possible subsequent war will certainly end in the Zionist regime’s defeat and complete destruction.
The general also described the U.S. refusal to veto a UN Security Council resolution against Zionist settlement activity on Palestinian territory as a sign that Washington has come to realize that the course of events and continued settlement construction will result in the collapse of the Zionist regime of Israel.
Last week, the UNSC voted in favor of a resolution demanding the halt of Zionist settlement on occupied Palestinian lands. The resolution was adopted with 14 votes in favor to a resounding round of applause.
