Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi declares that “the Zionist regime and its supporters have been defeated” in a speech marking 100 days since the deadly October 7 Hamas onslaught in southern Israel and the subsequent war in Gaza, Iranian news outlets report.
Speaking at an event titled “The Al-Aqsa Flood and the Awakening of the Human Conscience,” the Iranian president credits Iran for making the issue of Palestine “the most important issue in the Islamic world,” and praises Iran for the leading the fight against Israel.
“The resistance of the Iranian nation has paid off,” he says but hastens to add that “the Palestinians, on their own initiative, upgraded the war from a war with stones to a war with missiles and drones.” Tehran has maintained that Hamas acted independently of Iran on October 7.
“The resistance against Israel in 2-day, 22-day, 33-day and 100-day wars worked and Palestine is victorious and the Zionist regime and its supporters are defeated,” he adds.
