The Islamic Republic of Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, claimed on Tuesday that Israel has “suffered an irrevocable defeat both in terms of military and intelligence,” the Iranian News Agency Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) has reported.
“But those who say that the recent great event is the work of non-Palestinians are making miscalculations,” Khameni further said.
“I say that this devastating earthquake has managed to destroy some of the main structures of the occupying regime’s rule, which cannot be rebuilt so easily,” the supreme leader said.
“We kiss the foreheads and arms of the resourceful and intelligent designers [of the terror attack] and the Palestinian youth,” Khameni said in his first speech since the weekend attack on Israel by the Islamic terrorists from the Gaza strip.
So far, at least 900 Israelis have been killed and over 2,616 people injured in the terror attack.
A recent Wall Street Journal report said that Iran security officials helped Hamas plan the terror attack on Israel.
Meanwhile, earlier today, the Israel Defense Forces’ top spokesman, Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, stressed that the military has regained full control of the Gaza border.
