Iran’s president meets senior Palestinian officials in Damascus and expresses his country’s support of them as Tehran and Syria sign a series of agreements.
Among the Palestinians in attendance was Islamic Jihad leader Ziad Nakhaleh, who is based in Syria, and Khalil al-Hayya, a senior member in the Gaza-ruling Hamas.
According to a statement from Raisi’s office, the Iranian president urges Muslims to “use all their capacities to achieve the violated rights of Palestine and the freedom of the holy Quds [Jerusalem].”
“Today more than ever, the unity and cohesion of the resistance forces, the region and the Islamic world is necessary to accelerate the defeat of the Zionist regime and the liberation of the holy Quds and the sovereignty of the Palestinians over their destiny,” Raisi is quoted as saying.
He adds: “We consider the collapse of the Zionist Regime, whose effects are visible, to be very close.”
Defense Minister Yoav Gallant tells his Greek counterpart that Iran has enriched enough uranium for five nuclear bombs.
“Make no mistake – Iran will not be satisfied by a single nuclear bomb. So far, Iran has gained material enriched to 20% and 60% for five nuclear bombs,” Gallant tells Greek Defense Minister Nikolaos Panagiotopoulos during a visit to Athens. “Iranian progress, and enrichment to 90%, would be a grave mistake on Iran’s part, and could ignite the region.”
Gallant adds that Israel will not allow Iran to continue its attempts to build a stronghold in Syria.
“Over the past six months, Iran has sent aircraft to Syria on a weekly basis, delivering weapons to be used for terrorism,” he says. “The Syrian regime should be aware that the IDF will respond forcefully to any attacks launched from its territory. We will not allow Iran to establish military power in Syria, or to build a highway for the delivery of advanced weapons to Lebanon.”
