TEHRAN (FNA)- Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Mohammad Hossein Baqeri underlined the Palestinian resistance forces’ increasing power, saying that the Intifada is prepared to uproot the Zionist regime.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe warn the Zionist regime, which has recently suffered the bitter and deadly blows of the resistance front and the powerful Palestinian intifada, \u2026 that the [current] intifada, which has evolved from ‘stone’ [throwing] to ‘rocket’ [launching] and is on the verge of ‘deterrence’, is readier than ever\u00a0to uproot the occupiers with the help of the resistance front and the Islamic Ummah,\u201d General\u00a0Baqeri said on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
He\u00a0said that Quds Day was a big test to prove support for the oppressed Palestinian nation and disavowal\u00a0from the oppressors incarnate that is the \u201ccriminal America and usurper Israel.\u201d<\/p>\n
A durable legacy and a strategic initiative by Imam Khomeini, Baqeri said, Quds Day has been regarded as \u201cone of the most important and influential events in the course of resistance and fight of the Muslim and oppressed people of Palestine against oppression, crime and occupation.”<\/p>\n
The event “has managed to form the global anti-Zionist movement and an awakening front\u00a0in the regional and international arena through mobilizing and unifying power in the Islamic world,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
The senior commander called into question Western countries\u2019 claim of advocating human rights as they stood silent on the crimes against the\u00a0Palestinian nation, asking, \u201cWhich global institution or power is responsible for responding to the myriad list of massacres, warmongering, bombings and other crimes in the Islamic world, especially in the occupied territories?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cToday, the world monitors, counts and provides media coverage of \u2026 the number of coronavirus victims around the world, but no one asks who is responsible for the death of hundreds of thousands of those killed, held captive or gone missing from Palestine and other countries where the United States, Europe and the Zionist regime are waging war. And why are they indifferent to the oppression of the Palestinian people and the restoration of their rights, (while) on the contrary, they openly and brazenly\u00a0support the Zionist aggressors,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
He also took the US\u00a0responsible for brokering normalization agreements between Israel and certain Arab countries, and said the\u00a0scheme will fail like other conspiracies, including the Greater Middle East.<\/p>\n
He made the remarks in a Wednesday message to mark the upcoming International Quds Day, the last Friday of the holy Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, which was designated\u00a0by the late founder of Iran\u2019s Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Khomeini\u00a0in 1979 to express support for and solidarity with the people of Palestine\u00a0in the face of Israeli aggression.<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s Quds Day falls on May 7 and coincides with\u00a0Israel’s ongoing escalated acts of aggression against Palestinians in the\u00a0occupied territories.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
