Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIranian army’s chief of staff says that “the decline period of the Zionists started with the Islamic Revolution,” during the funeral for Mohammad Reza Zahedi, a top Iranian commander killed in an alleged Israeli strike in Syria this week.
Claiming that Israel was founded “under the pretext of a vague warning of the Holocaust in Europe,” Mohammad Bagheri is quoted by Iran’s SSN news website bragging that the establishment of the Islamic Republic of Iran after the overthrow of the Shah and the Pahlavi government paved the way for terror groups Hamas and Hezbollah.

“Non-Islamic and weak currents gradually went to the sidelines, and authentic Islamic currents such as Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas and Islamic Jihad in Palestine came into the field with full power, and since 30 years ago, this power has increased day by day,” he tells crowds in Isfahan.
Quds Day is an Iran-sponsored day of support for Palestinians marked on the last Friday of Ramadan each year since the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
Bagheri’s comments come as Iran vows revenge for the strike on an Iranian consular building in Syria that killed seven members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, a US-designated terror organization.
