Al-Aqsa Storm Operation Has Changed Everything, Iranian Spokesman Says
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The Al-Aqsa Storm operation that the Palestinian resistance forces carried out against the Israeli regime had such profound impacts on strategic regional equations that circumstances won’t remain as they were before October 2023, the Iranian Foreign Ministry’s spokesman said.
In an interview with Tasnim, Nasser Kanaani said the Al-Aqsa Storm operation has changed the strategic balance in favor of Palestine and the resistance groups.
He said the anti-Israeli operation has also shifted the strategic regional equations in such a way that they won’t return to the state before October 2023.
Echoing remarks by Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, Kanaani said the Al-Aqsa Storm operation has dispelled the myth of invincibility of the Israeli regime.
Denouncing the Zionist regime’s cruel and aggressive onslaught on Gaza, the spokesman reminded the international community of its responsibility to stop the Israeli war machine immediately.
He bemoaned the fact that Israeli is committing war crimes with unlimited support form the US government and the American policies that have rendered the UN Security Council ineffective.
Kanaani further highlighted Iran’s diplomatic efforts to put an urgent end to the Gaza war, saying Tehran has been holding serious diplomatic talks with the influential regional and international parties about ways to stop the Israeli war on Palestinians.
“The definite principle is that we support the Palestinian nation, but would not decide on behalf of the Palestinian nation. We have announced repeatedly that we will support any decision made by the Palestinian resistance groups as a representative of the Palestinian nation,” he stated.
At least 41,431 Palestinian people have been killed and 95,818 injured in Israel’s war on Gaza since October 2023.
This includes almost 17,000 children, meaning that 2.6 percent of all children in Gaza are now dead.
At least 53 children have been killed every day since October 7, 2023, and 72 men and women are killed in Israeli strikes, every single day.
At least 10,000 are missing under the rubble, most of them presumed dead.
