'Oppressed but victorious'

The Leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolution says the entire world agrees that Palestinians in Gaza are the oppressed but victorious in the face of Israel’s deadly onslaught on the besieged strip. Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei said all the people around the world, whether Muslims or non-Muslims, consider the occupying Israeli regime as a bloodthirsty wolf which has fallen apart and been defeated. Ayatollah Khamenei also hailed the government and people of Yemen for standing in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza. He said Yemenis have taken great measures, inflicting damage on vital channels of the Zionist regime, despite threats by the United States. The Leader expressed hopes that Yemenis will continue their perseverance. In recent weeks, the Yemeni armed forces have targeted over two dozen Israeli or Israeli-linked ships in the Red Sea. The operations were in response to the regime’s bloodshed in Gaza and its blockade of the Palestinian territory. 

Iran's retaliatory strikes

According to the IRGC, four missiles hit Daesh terrorists’ bases in Syria’s Idlib. Nine missiles also struck positions of other terrorist groups in Syria’s occupied territories. The IRGC said the missiles hit terrorist commanders and key elements linked to anti-Iran terror attacks.

That operation was in response to recent Israeli assassination of commanders of the IRGC and resistance movements in West Asia. The IRGC pledged to continue what it called punishing anti-Iran terrorist groups.
