In a statement issued on Monday in response to recent claims by Wall Street Journal, Iran’s UN mission said that Iran emphatically stands in unflinching support of Palestine.
The statement added that Iran is not involved in Palestine’s response, as it is taken solely by Palestine itself.
The resolute measures taken by Palestine constitute a wholly legitimate defense against seven decades of oppressive occupation and heinous crimes committed by the illegitimate Zionist regime, the statement read.
The Zionists are making attempts to justify their failure and attribute it to Iran’s intelligence power and operational planning, it added.
Operation al-Aqsa Storm is the biggest operation launched by Palestinian groups against the occupying entity in years. It has so far led to the death of hundreds of Israeli settlers and troops while, according to official figures released by the occupying regime, over 900 Zionists have been killed.
In relevant remarks earlier today, Iran’s top human rights official Kazem Gharibabadi said that the actions of the Palestinian Resistance actions are a legitimate defense against the crimes committed against them by the Zionist regime.
