Israel, US collapsing; huge developments happening: IRGC Chief
The chief commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has condemned the latest round of Israeli aggression on the besieged Gaza Strip, saying that the world is witnessing the collapse of Israel and the United States.
Major General Hossein Salami made the remarks at a gathering of Basij members in the holy city of Mashhad on Tuesday, hours after three high-profile commanders of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad resistance movement were killed in Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip.
“The Zionists who were boastful a few months ago are now shocked to see that more than 30 armed attacks take place in the occupied territories each day,” he said.
“Big events are on the verge of happening. Hopes have been revived and justice will dawn again in the region ... This is the pattern of the collapse of powers that happens surprisingly,” he added.
On Tuesday, Israeli military aircraft launched a series of targeted strikes on the Gaza Strip, killing at least three high-profile commanders of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad resistance movement.
At least 15 Palestinians were killed in the Israeli strikes and 20 others were wounded, according to Palestinian reports, with a number of sites in Gaza City, Rafah and Khan Yunis targeted, among other locations.
The attacks drew widespread international condemnation, with the Palestinian resistance movements of Hamas and Islamic Jihad vowing to take revenge for the blood of those martyred in Gaza.
The IRGC chief further stated that "Americans are no longer willing to support the Zionists,” adding that “none of them travels to occupied Palestine anymore.”
“It was us who forced the Americans to no longer consider our region as one of their priorities,” he said, noting that only two US military bases remain in Iraq currently.
Salami noted that Iranians’ experience of resistance has always been “sweet,” stressing that all those who were ill-wishers toward the Iranian nation are dealing with their collapse while the Islamic system is still powerful.
Elsewhere in his remarks, Salami said the West “has recently realized that military warfare is not enough to win wars, but it is humans who can decide the fate of any wars.”
“They wanted to push Syria into trouble, but [President] Bashar al-Assad survived and returned to the Arab League, and now the Zionists themselves are talking about their own collapse,” the IRGC said.
