Iran’s Defense Minister Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Ashtiani says Israelis are “taking their last breaths” and the terrorist actions and crimes the occupying regime has been carrying out across the world will not prevent its collapse.
Referring to the recent terrorist attacks that took place in southern Iran’s Kerman, Ashtiani told Fars News Agency on Tuesday that Israel “is resorting to such moves and is taking such actions in vain” to compensate for the “strategic failures” it had suffered in the region.
“Terrorists and enemies won’t get anywhere by these actions, and these actions won’t have any impact on their situation,” he said, adding, the Israeli regime is “collapsing” and the situation will “remain unchanged.”
“The fact is that the Zionists are taking their last breaths, they are globally isolated for the heinous crimes they have committed across the world.”
Ashtiani vowed that Iran will continue to support the resistance front despite Israel’s actions.
The January 3 explosions in Kerman were carried out near the burial site of Iran’s late anti-terror commander Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani during a ceremony marking the fourth anniversary of his martyrdom.
The blasts left 89 people, including 76 Iranians and 13 Afghans, dead and wounded 286, some of them in critical condition.
The Daesh Takfiri terrorists claimed responsibility for the heinous act in a statement posted on their affiliate Telegram channels. Daesh said two of its members had detonated their explosive belts among the crowd.
Iranian President Ebrahim Raeisi said the cause of the terrorist bombings in Kerman can be traced back to the grudge that Zionists hold against General Qassem Soleimani as he jeopardized the plans to establish another Israel in the region by creating and backing the Daesh Takfiri terrorist group.
