Israel much closer to defeat than victory: Iran

Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Nasser Kan’ani, has strongly condemned Israel’s actions in the region, labeling it a “cancerous tumor” and the “focal and central core of the axis of malice”.

He further said that Israel’s crimes and its excessive demands in the recent ceasefire negotiations indicate that the regime is much closer to defeat than “victory”.

He added that Israel’s heinous crimes against the people of Palestine in the Gaza Strip and recently in the West Bank have incurred global wrath.

Kan’ani’s comments came during his weekly press briefing on Monday, where he addressed Israel’s recent ceasefire negotiations and its strikes against military sites in northwestern Syria.

The Iranian spokesman urged Israel’s supporters to stop arming and supporting the regime, and called on international organizations to seriously condemn Israel’s crimes and take deterrent measures to counter them.

“The Israeli regime is a cancerous tumor and the focal and central core of the axis of malice in the region,” Nasser Kan’ani said.

The Iranian spokesman also strongly condemned the Israeli regime’s Sunday strikes against several military sites in northwestern Syria with missiles and drones.

“The regime’s attack on regional countries shows that its crimes are not confined to Gaza and it is committing extra-regional crimes,” Kan’ani said.
