Tehran (IP) - Iran's Acting Foreign Minister, Ali Bagheri Kani, has declared that the Palestinian resistance has evolved into a global movement in the wake of the October 7 attack against Israel, known as the Al Aqsa Flood Operation.

Iran PressIran news: Speaking at a ceremony in Tehran on Tuesday, held to honor the former Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh—who was assassinated in a Zionist attack in the Iranian capital on July 31—Bagheri Kani emphasized the growing international support for Palestinian resistance.

"The resistance has transcended borders," Bagheri Kani stated. "Today, institutions like the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the United Nations, the U.S. Congress, and followers of Islam and other religions are acknowledging resistance as a legitimate form of dialogue and the primary solution to the conflict."

He underscored that the escalation of the Zionist regime’s actions would only fuel the rise of global resistance. "The more crimes committed by the Zionist regime, the stronger the international resistance becomes," Bagheri Kani said, asserting that the movement has become an undeniable force in global politics. He added that the previous balance of power in the region has shifted and that the U.S. and the West must come to terms with this new reality.

Bagheri Kani also described the Zionist regime as a "cancerous tumor" in the region, arguing that it is not an independent entity, but rather an extension of American and Western interests in West Asia. He accused the U.S. and Western powers of deliberately planting this "impure seed" in the region to sow discord and conflict among Islamic nations.

Bagheri Kani pointed to recent U.S. legislation prohibiting any country from supplying arms to nations in the region that could give them an advantage over the Zionist regime. He argued that this policy highlights the importance of Israel to the U.S. and Western governments and their commitment to maintaining its dominance in the region.

As resistance movements gain momentum worldwide, Bagheri Kani suggested that the West must reevaluate its policies and approach to West Asia, acknowledging the widespread support for the Palestinian cause.
