Iran FM: Resistance front should rebuild itself for future
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Tuesday that the resistance front should rebuild itself and apply the lessons it has learned from the recent conflicts for the future.
Addressing an international conference, dubbed ‘Al-Aqsa Storm, Gaza, Narratives and Realities’, the top Iranian diplomat said the resistance front in the region has gone through a difficult period, adding that he is confident it will return stronger than before.
This is not the first time that Lebanon’s resistance group Hezbollah has lost its leader, Araghchi said, adding that it became stronger after the loss of its previous leader and, “I am confident that it will become strong again.”
Leader of the Hezbollah resistance movement Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah was assassinated in an Israeli strike in Lebanon on September 27. Many commanders of the resistance movements in the region were also killed in the regime’s attacks during its onslaught on the Gaza Strip and Lebanon over the past 16 months.
The Iranian foreign minister, however, said the Israeli regime failed to achieve its goals in its aggression against Gaza and Lebanon.
Araghchi said the Israeli regime has had a series of successes during the war, which are destruction of homes and the killing of civilians. Araghchi said they aimed to destroy Hamas, but after 16 months of massacre, they were forced to negotiate with the resistance fighters and make concessions.
Israel and Hamas reached a cease-fire deal on January 17 to end the regime’s attacks on the Gaza Strip, which came into effect on January 19. Since then, hundreds of Palestinians and several captives held in Gaza have been released under the agreement which has been mediated by Qatar, Egypt and the US.
Humanitarian aid has been allowed to enter Gaza and patients have been allowed to leave Gaza for other countries for treatment as part of the cease-fire
agreement.
