TEHRAN- The spokesperson for Iran's foreign ministry has asserted that the Palestinian people will ultimately prevail in their struggle against the Zionist regime. 

Nasser Kanaani expressed on the X social media platform on Sunday, coinciding with Arbaeen Walk, “The sacrifices of innocent Palestinians, who have fallen victim to Israeli actions, will lead to the triumph of the Palestinian nation over the regime.” 

Kanaani emphasized, “The significant lesson of Arbaeen is to pursue righteousness and stand in solidarity with the oppressed.” 

Arbaeen commemorates the 40th day following the martyrdom anniversary of Imam Hossein, the third Shia Imam, revered by Muslims for his resistance against tyranny.

He also highlighted the importance of actively rejecting the oppressors responsible for the deaths of over 40,000 Palestinians in Gaza over the past 11 months, the majority of whom are women and children.

The current conflict between Israel and Hamas has led to substantial loss of life, especially among the Palestinian population. By August 2024, reports indicate that more than 40,000 Palestinians have lost their lives. Additionally, the war has caused widespread displacement, with the United Nations estimating that 90% of Gaza's 2.2 million inhabitants have been forced to flee their homes.

The circumstances are critical, as ongoing airstrikes and ground assaults continue to escalate the casualty figures and cause extensive devastation. The humanitarian crisis is profound, with numerous families mourning the loss of relatives and enduring tough living conditions.
