Iran’s chief of general staff says the events in Gaza constitute a new history for the region and the world.

“The fate of this war is quite clear and it is the defeat of the Zionist regime in front of the oppressed people of Gaza,” Mohammad Bagheri said in remarks quoted by the official IRNA news agency according to Al Jazeera.

“The Zionists suffered an irreparable defeat [on October 7], but they want compensation by killing innocent and defenceless people,” he added.
