Iranians have taken to the streets across the country to voice solidarity with the Resistance factions in Lebanon and Palestine in the face of intense Israeli aggression.

In central Tehran, protesters marched from the University of Tehran to iconic Enqelab Square after Friday prayers, chanting slogans praising the resilience of the Resistance forces and condemning the savage atrocities committed by the Israeli regime.

A rally statement hailed the steadfastness of the brave fighters of Hezbollah and vowed that ultimate victory belongs to the Resistance.

The statement noted that the regime’s attacks on Lebanon clearly demonstrate the malicious intent of the apartheid regime to escalate and expand its aggression in the region.

“We firmly believe that these blows will not undermine the organizational and human strength of the Resistance front and Hezbollah. The heroic resistance of the unparalleled symbols of honor and freedom, who have stood up in defense of the oppressed people of Gaza, will continue with strength,” the statement said.

The statement warned the United Nations and other international bodies that as long as the colonial entity continues the massacre of innocent people amid global silence, humanity will not see peace.

During the 57th session of the Human Rights Council, Iran’s representative Ali Bahraini said the US support for the Zionist regime is a blatant violation of the Genocide Convention.

It called for global action to rein in the Israeli regime and prepare the ground for a permanent ceasefire while restoring Palestinians’ right to self-determination.

The statement emphasized that the inaction of the UN Security Council and other bodies has proven that they practically serve the interests of arrogant powers. It called on free and independent governments and nations around the world, particularly in the Arab and Muslim world, to stand up against oppression and not abandon Lebanon and Gaza.

It also vowed that march-goers are ready to offer any kind of assistance to Gaza and Lebanon, continuing their support until Palestinian lands are fully liberated.
