Iranian FM says Israel achieved none of its objectives in Gaza

“Despite committing the gravest international crimes and killing tens of thousands of defenseless Palestinian women and children, the Zionist regime failed to achieve any of its sinister objectives and ultimately had to surrender and accept a ceasefire with the resistance groups it sought to annihilate,” Abbas Araghchi said.

He made the remarks in a Wednesday meeting with Ziyad al-Nakhaleh, the secretary-general of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

Araghchi highlighted the legitimate struggle of the Palestinian nation for self-determination and liberation from occupation over the past eight decades.

“The unity and cohesion among the Palestinian people, along with their legendary patience and steadfastness and support for the resistance despite all hardships and challenges, are enduring symbols of the Palestinian people’s legitimacy and victory.”

Araghchi underscored Iran's continued support for the Palestinian cause and the legitimate and lawful resistance of the Palestinian nation against the Zionist occupiers.

He described the joint Zionist-US plan for the forced displacement of Palestinians from their land as “a nefarious plot to erase Palestine.”

"This plan not only violates the fundamental principles and rules of the United Nations Charter and international law but also constitutes a complete crime against humanity. Therefore, all governments have a legal and moral duty and responsibility to oppose its realization," he stated.
Araghchi referred to his consultations with foreign ministers of Islamic countries on this matter and cited the widespread support from Islamic nations at the extraordinary meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) ministers as an indication of the strong opposition of the Islamic world to the colonial plan to cleanse Gaza.
