In an interview with five Resistance Axis channels regarding the events in Palestine, the President stressed that the discernment, decision and action of resistance groups are independent in their discernment, decision and action, describing the extension of the scope of the crisis in the Gaza Strip as a natural result of the continued bombing and crimes committed by the occupying regime, saying, “The noble blood of the martyrs of the Gaza Strip unveiled the trye faces of the hypocritical protectors of the Zionist Regime”. In an interview with five channels of the resistance axis, namely the Lebanese Al-Manar Channel, the Iraqi Al-Etejah Channel, the Palestine Al Yawm Channel, the Palestinian Al-Aqsa Channel, and the Yemeni Al-Masirah Channel, the President answered correspondents’ questions regarding the events in Palestine and the roots of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood and new dimensions of crimes of the Zionist regime and the role of the United States of America and other Western supporters of the occupying regime and the impact of the blood of the martyrs in Gaza and its connection to creating a new international order based on global justice and international support for Palestine and the outcome of the conflict in Gaza. In this interview, which lasted more than an hour, it was stated: Question: It is natural for this interview with Your Excellency to begin with a question about the Al-Aqsa Flood, which is considered a political, security and military earthquake on the regional and global levels. In your opinion, what are the beginnings and indications of the occurrence of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood? President: In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. First of all, I must thank you, as media professionals and journalists, for conveying the voice of Palestine’s innocence to the world. I also say hello to all the honourable viewers who are watching this interview, asking the Almighty for health and success for all. The issue of Palestine is the most important issue of the Islamic world. Not just an issue today, but rather, the late Imam Khomeini affirmed since the beginning of the glorious Iranian Islamic Revolution that the primary issue of the Islamic world is the issue of Palestine and the liberation of Holy Quds, and everyone must be sensitive towards this issue, and thank God Almighty, this sensitivity exists. Operation Al-Aqsa Flood showed great importance regarding the level of weakness of the enemy, and it was extremely important. Operation Al-Aqsa Flood was a defeat and a major scandal that defeated the hegemony of the Zionist regime and completely destroyed the enemy’s calculations. In my opinion, analysing Operation Al-Aqsa Flood without paying attention to the background is wrong, and the important question is why and for what reasons did this military operation occur? The main reason for Operation Al-Aqsa Flood is the continued occupation of Palestinian lands and the crimes committed by the Zionist regime over the past 75 years. For example, about 200 people were targeted and killed in West Bank during this short period, and there were no missiles. Martyrdom, killing, torture, captivity, destruction of homes, continuous occupation of agricultural lands, and abuse of the Blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque- all these actions led to the exhaustion of the Palestinians’ patience with these crimes and the injustice and ongoing aggression against them. It is true that Operation Al-Aqsa Flood was important, but in response to the question about the reasons for the emergence of this operation, we must say that the injustices of the Zionist regime are a reason for the formation and programming of Al-Aqsa Flood, and all of these injustices have a reaction, and what happened within the framework of Al-Aqsa Flood is a reaction to repeated injustices and attacks. What the Palestinian people and the children of Gaza did in this period was their legitimate defence of themselves. The self-defence of the Palestinian people is legitimate based on any logic and international conventions and resolutions. The Zionist Regime was helpless before the Palestinian resistance forces, but the path to defend oneself is not to kill children and women and destroy the entire Gaza Strip! The Zionists cannot bear to withstand the resistance, and after the events of October 7, it can be said that the Zionist regime has collapsed and that the Americans are the ones who defended them to survive. The main reason for the American commanders and leaders racing against each other to be present in the occupied territories is their intense concern. They even told some regional state officials that we felt that the Zionist regime had completely collapsed. The defeat of the Zionists on October 7 was a terrible and very decisive defeat, and for this reason the Americans felt the necessity of their intervention by sending equipment and weapons, pumping money, intense media support, extensive propaganda, and psychological warfare. Today, the world's assessment is that killing women and children is not a victory. The Zionists said that they wanted to enter the Gaza Strip to occupy it, but they were unable to do so. They later said that they wanted to eliminate Hamas and the other resistance groups, but they were unable to do so. If we evaluate the actions of the Zionists, we must say that they did not achieve any success. Today, the peoples of the world have realised that Westerners claim human rights, and this claim is completely false. What they claimed about Palestine was a lie, and what they promoted about women’s rights, children’s rights, and people’s rights is all a lie. Resistance groups are independent in their discernment, decision and action, describing the extension of the scope of the crisis in the Gaza Strip as a natural result of the continued bombing and crimes committed by the occupying regime. Normalising relations with the Zionist regime was pushed to the side and its file was completely closed. We believe that the expansion of the crisis is a natural result of the continued bombing, because the patience of peoples has limits. How can the peoples of the region and the world be reassured in the face of these terrible crimes? In some countries, despite the ban and arrest of advocates of Palestine and supporters of the people of Gaza, they were unable to stop the demonstrations and marches in support of the Palestinian cause in the streets. There is no doubt that the pure blood of the martyrs of the Gaza Strip has unveiled the true faces of the hypocritical protectors of the Zionist regime. Question: How do you evaluate the Axis of Resistance operation in Bab al-Mandab in support of the people of the Gaza Strip? The resistance groups throughout the region carried out their tasks according to the discernment and sense of responsibility, and as we warned previously, if the crimes of the Zionists do not stop and these injustices and attacks continue, the resistance groups will feel more responsible and enter the stage, and they must know that steadfastness and defence of the Palestinian cause will be rewarded by God Almighty. We have no doubts about the victory and success of the Palestinians and the destruction of the Zionist regime, and we believe that the right always wins because this is God's will and tradition. We believe in this tradition and those who are in favour of the truth in this path will surely be favoured by God Almighty. May Allah’s peace and blessings be upon you
