Israel fell apart on October 7, resorts to political solutions after Gaza failure: Iran FM
Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian says Israel’s political and security structure suffered a collapse after the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas launched its military operation against the regime in October.
Speaking during a ceremony on Sunday, Amir-Abdollahian said that in such a complicated world, everyone witnessed that only Hamas succeeded in destroying Israel’s political and security structure through its Operation Al-Aqsa Storm, launched on October 7.
He added that Israel changed its goal after failing to defeat Hamas and put the discovery of tunnels and the release of prisoners by resorting to military power.
However, the regime faced another defeat also in this field and now is pursuing a path towards political solutions, he said.
The top Iranian diplomat emphasized that Israel achieved none of its goals through its attacks against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip.
He noted that Operation Al-Aqsa Storm was an operation by a liberation movement against the occupation of an illegitimate regime.
“The United States, the Zionist regime (Israel), and some Western countries tried to introduce the October 7 operation as a terrorist act, which was dispelled by the constructive diplomacy of the resistance,” Amir-Abdollahian argued.
The Iranian minister said the United States made a “big mistake” by providing Israel with extensive support, adding that it was a complete miscalculation by Israel and its allies who thought they could destroy Hamas in a short period of time.
He once again reiterated that the resistance forces in the region act “independently and based on their own interests” and receive no order from Iran.
“Since the beginning of the Israeli regime’s genocide in Gaza, the Islamic Republic of Iran said that war is not a solution and that the resistance will act strongly,” Amir-Abdollahian said.
Israel launched the war on Gaza on October 7 after the Palestinian Hamas resistance carried out an unprecedented operation against the usurping entity in retaliation for its intensified atrocities against the Palestinian people.
So far, the Tel Aviv regime has killed nearly 24,000 people, mostly women and children, in Gaza.
