A top military advisor to Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali
Khamenei says the resistance front has succeeded in inflicting a heavy defeat
on the Israeli regime, which is approaching its decline.  "In a strategic
assessment, they (the Israeli regime) sustained a defeat from the axis of
resistance -- from Lebanon's Hezbollah, Yemen's Ansarullah, Syria's resistance,
Iraq's resistance and Palestinian resistance groups," Major General Yahya Rahim
Safavi said on Sunday.He added that Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu
has failed to achieve any of his stated goals in the Gaza Strip.

Rahim Safavi, a former chief commander of Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards
Corps (IRGC), emphasized that the West, led by the United States and NATO, is
the main supporter of Israel and is in charge of the political, military,
economic and even media command of the regime's months-long war against Gaza.
They have killed and injured more than 120,000 oppressed people across the West
Asia region, he noted. He said Netanyahu sought to occupy the Gaza Strip,
eliminate the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas and free Israeli captives.
However, the top commander added, "The resistance front changed the power
equation both in the north and south of the occupied territories."

Rahim Safavi reiterated that Yemen's Ansarullah resistance movement managed to
bring the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and the Red Sea under its full control.
Ansarullah hit the military and commercial fleets of the US, Britain and
supporters of the Zionist regime with its various missiles and drones, he
explained.Yemenis have declared their open support for Palestine’s struggle
against Israel since the regime launched its savage campaign in Gaza on October
7 after the Palestinian resistance movements carried out Operation Al-Aqsa
Storm against the occupying entity. The Yemeni Armed Forces say they won’t stop
the attacks until Israel stops its ground and aerial offensives.

Rahim Safavi further described the establishment of the fake Israeli regime in
the Palestinian territories as the "West's biggest strategic mistake" while the
"Zionists have no place in the region." He said Operation Al-Aqsa Storm and
Iran's retaliatory strikes against Israel, dubbed Operation True Promise,
changed the power equation in West Asia in favor of the resistance movement and
Islamic Iran.

"The Islamic Middle East centered on the resistance front and Islamic Iran is
taking shape and its signs are quite evident," the Leader's adviser pointed
out.  He noted that the world has become acquainted with the Israeli regime's
criminal nature and emphasized that the Zionist regime is on the verge of
decline and defeat.
