The spokesman for Iran’s Foreign Ministry says the continuation of Israel’s crimes and its excessive demands in the recent ceasefire negotiations indicate that the regime is much closer to defeat than "victory".

According to The Iran Project, “The Israeli regime is a cancerous tumor and the focal and central core of the axis of malice in the region,” Nasser Kan’ani said at his weekly press briefing on Monday.

He added that Israel’s heinous crimes against the people of Palestine in the Gaza Strip and recently in the West Bank have incurred global wrath.

He reiterated Iran’s legal, moral and human commitment to support Palestine and emphasized that moves by the Israeli regime to attribute any incident to the Islamic Republic is “definitely rhetoric and a desperate attempt to hide the facts.”

The Iranian spokesman strongly condemned the Israeli regime’s Sunday strikes against several military sites in northwestern Syria with missiles and drones.
