TEHRAN- Iranian Interior Minister Ahmad Vahidi has called terrorism a sign of weakness of the declining Zionist regime, emphasizing that the regime is facing a certain downfall.

Following the martyrdom of former IRGC advisor Seyyed Razi Mousavi in Syria on Monday by the Zionist regime’s attack in the Zainabiyah area of Damascus, the interior minister issued a message on Wednesday where he congratulated and condoled the martyrdom of Seyyed Razi Mousavi. 

“The barbaric attack of the Zionist criminal regime on Damascus, which led to the martyrdom of Brigadier General Seyyed Razi Mousavi, one of IRGC's senior military advisers in Syria, is undoubtedly a clear sign of the powerlessness and incapacity of the Zionist regime,” Vahidi reiterated.

Vahidi also touched on the resounding and certain response of the Islamic Republic of Iran to this crime.

“Undoubtedly, the irreparable defeat of the Zionist regime in the battle against the brave Palestinian resistance has forced this regime to resort helplessly and commit crimes. However, this regime knows that it is going to be destroyed, that it will never return to the day before October 7, and it is facing the inevitable downfall,” he added.

General Razi Mousavi, one of the advisors of the IRGC Quds Force and a friend and companion of General Qassem Soleimani, was supporting the resistance axis in Syria.
