Iran’s IRGC: Ceasefire deal is ‘great victory’ for Palestinians, ‘defeat’ for Israel
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in Iran hails the ceasefire-hostage deal as a “great victory” for the Palestinians and a “defeat” for Israel.
“The end of the war and the imposition of a ceasefire… is a clear victory and a great victory for Palestine and a bigger defeat for the monstrous Zionist regime,” the IRGC says in a statement shared by the semi-official Tasnim news agency.
