Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi has told a large crowd in Iran’s Kerman that “the end of al-Aqsa Flood will be the end of the Zionist regime”, Al Jazeera reports.

That is how Tehran describes Israel, and the flood is the name of the operation Hamas launched on October 7.

Raisi, who was speaking in the aftermath of a deadly twin ISIL-claimed bombing on the anniversary of US-assassinated general Qassem Soleimani, said “the victory of the righteous and the elimination of the wicked is a divine promise”.

He also said based on everything that has happened during the conflict until this day, “the Palestinian people and the resistance front are the victors and the Zionist regime has been defeated”.
