Iran: Very horrific days await Israel

Despite the Israeli regime's ongoing attacks against the Gaza Strip, Iran's foreign minister said that the Gaza-based Palestinian resistance is bringing increasingly worsening battleground conditions to the aggressor.

The resistance has so far faced the regime's aggression with a powerful response, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian said in a phone call with Qatari counterpart Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani.

Given the current trend, the upcoming days are going to be horrific for the invading Israeli forces, the top Iranian diplomat added.

Israel began the genocidal war on Gaza on October 7 after the territory's resistance groups launched an operation against the occupied territories earlier that day in response to the regime's decades-long campaign of bloodletting and devastation against Palestinians.

Amir-Abdollahian's remarks came a day after Hamas declared that it had worked out a major defensive plan in the face of the Israeli onslaught.

"We are sure that we will emerge victorious out of this war,” Ali Baraka, head of Hamas' National Relations Abroad, told Lebanon’s al-Ahed news website. He added that the Israeli military had failed dismally to attain any of its declared objectives, including the destruction of Hamas, the release of Israeli captives, and the permanent displacement of Palestinians from Gaza.

The Iranian and Qatari officials, meanwhile, condemned the regime's crimes against women and children in Gaza and the occupied West Bank, where the regime has also intensified its deadly violence against Palestinians.

They urged prompt international action towards immediate cessation of the regime's war crimes and genocide against the Palestinian people and its flagrant violation of international law, and emphasized the need for extensive transfer of humanitarian aid to the Palestinians.

Elsewhere in their remarks, the top diplomats expressed support for the United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres' efforts aimed at cessation of the Israeli regime's attacks against the people of Gaza.
