General Staff of Iranian Armed Forces:

Countdown for Zionist Regime's Collapse Starts

TEHRAN (FNA)- The General Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces in a statement  on Wednesday condemned the massacre of the Palestinian people by Israel, and stressed that the Zionist regime is left with little time before its collapse.

"The countdown has started for the collapse of the hollow Zionist regime and there is no doubt that this criminal act (massacre of Palestinians) will help synergy and unity among the Muslim and right-seeking nations," the statement said.

It added that the usurper Zionist regime will be annihilated forever in a not far future.

The statement also condemned the international community and certain Islamic states for keeping mum on the massacre of the defenseless and oppressed Palestinian nation.

In relevant remarks earlier today, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani underscored that his country would continue its decades-long support for the oppressed Palestinian people against Israel, adding that the Apartheid regime in Tel Aviv only understands the language of force.

"The Islamic Republic of Iran has always defended the rights of the Palestinian people and will continue this path. We will stand against the aggressors and oppressors and believe that the final victory belongs to the oppressed and the Palestinians," President Rouhani said, addressing a cabinet meeting in Tehran on Wednesday.

He expressed confidence that the Israeli crimes will further strengthen the Palestinian nation's resolve to resist, saying that the Palestinians will not keep mum about such crimes.

"The Palestinian people have resisted for 70 years and will continue resistance to restore their legitimate rights," President Rouhani said.

He also voiced regret over the Arab and Islamic countries' silence on the Zionists' crimes, and said, "We regret that certain regional Arab states have kept mum about the Zionists' crimes in the past few days."

Yet the Iranian president cautioned the West that Beitol Moqaddas (Jerusalem) may never be taken away from 1.5 billion Muslims through political games.

Rouhani also slammed those Western states who are defending the Israeli massacre of the Palestinians in Gaza as "Tel Aviv's legitimate right of self-defense", saying using the term, legitimate defense, in the case of occupiers is meaningless.
