U.S. trains, aids terrorists in occupied territories: military chief
TEHRAN- Iran's Armed Forces Chief of Staff has accused the United States of training and providing support to terrorist groups in the occupied territories.
Addressing a conference in Tehran on Monday, General Mohammad Bagheri said that since October 7, a number of American commanders have been stationed in the region to coordinate the activities of these groups.
He added that the U.S. has been supplying the Zionist regime with bombs and other military equipment through a large number of cargo planes.
General Bagheri also lamented that some countries in the region have been assisting the Zionists by sending them military equipment by ship.
Despite all the support it is receiving, the general stressed, the sustainability of the Tel Aviv regime is under a serious threat.
He highlighted the role of the Yemeni fighters in disrupting the flow of supplies to the Zionist regime, pointing out that they have been able to block ships carrying military equipment to the occupied territories.
The Iranian general also commended the efforts of resistance forces in Iraq, Syria, and other countries, stating that their struggle is a testament to the enduring spirit of the Islamic Revolution.
"The spirit that the late founder of the Islamic Revolution breathed into the lives of Iranians and Muslims is being passed down from one generation to the next, growing and improving," he said.
"The resistance front is one of the fruits of this spirit," he added.
He emphasized that the path of resistance is one of growth, advancement, and ultimately victory and that the hardships endured along the way will lead to great rewards.
The top general praised the Al-Aqsa Storm Operation, conducted by Hamas, as a turning point in the history of Palestinian struggles.
"These epic feats and victories should be considered blessings of the Islamic Revolution and the results of spreading the spirit and culture of the holy defense," he declared.
Bagheri also lauded the resilience of the Palestinian people, highlighting their ability to carry out such a major military operation despite being under siege in Gaza with limited resources.
He called on the international community to recognize the Palestinian people's right to self-determination and to support their resistance against the Zionist occupation.
