According to The Iran Project, addressing the Iranian parliament on Monday, Nasirzadeh said the US support for Israel, which is committing a genocidal war on Gaza, has strengthened the position of Iran, the backer of the oppressed people across the world, in the West Asian region and the entire world.

“After the [Iran’s] proud operation of True Promise, the US has begun to strengthen the weakened deterrence of the infamous Zionist regime,” he said.

“After the al-Aqsa Storm operation, the Zionist regime has shown its illegitimate, tension-causing, and inhumane nature, as well as its irresponsibility toward all the international rules, more than ever, with the help of the US,” he added.

According to Nasirzadeh, Israel has “crossed the red lines of direct conflict by its cowardly assassinations and committing all kinds of war crimes against the oppressed Palestinian people in Gaza.”

He was referring to Israel’s assassination of Fuad Shukr, a senior Hezbollah commander and an advisor to the Lebanese movement’s Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, in a suburb of the country’s capital Beirut, and its assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas’ Political Bureau Chief, in the Iranian capital of Tehran.

Nasirzadeh added that the situation has highlighted the strategic importance of the Islamic Republic.

“In such an atmosphere, the Islamic Republic of Iran has managed to strengthen its distinguished and powerful position in the international arena, particularly in West Asia.”
