Speaking during this week’s Friday prayers in Tehran on Quds Day, Hujjat al-Islam Abu Torabi Fard noted that this year’s Quds Day was different from previous years as it is commemorated after six months of the bombing campaign and military aggression by the Zionist Israeli regime against the Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip and the occupied West Bank.

“The Quds Day rallies in the Islamic world and in the east, west, north and south of the world will give a hand to Mujahideen in the fronts in Gaza and the brave people of Palestine,” he said about the Quds Day.

“Al-Aqsa Storm Operation was like an earthquake in the political, military and economic structure of the Zionist regime,” he said, adding that “the asymmetric war model based on the resistance in Gaza, Lebanon, Iraq and Yemen has challenged the military superiority of this regime.”

“The Zionists in Gaza are witnessing a total political, military and media failure to the public opinion of the world,” he added.

The senior cleric further noted that the atrocities and crimes committed by the Zionist regime caused the regime to receive verdicts in international courts.

He further said that the Israeli regime’s attack on the Iranian consulate in Syria came after the Zionists’ failures.

He continued that the Zionist regime is facing a powerful united front consisting of a coordinated military and ideological network with a unified and coordinated strategy that is standing by the heroic Hamas and Islamic Jihad. “A front from the Red Sea, the Mediterranean Sea to the Persian Gulf,” he concluded.
