Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahan said Israel killed a senior military adviser to Syria's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in a series of political, military and security defeats.
Amir Abdollahan said the killing of Brigadier General Seyyed Raj Mousavi, who served as a military adviser in Syria, was motivated by anger and despair over the regime's defeat. Mousavi was killed in an Israeli airstrike by terrorists near Damascus on December 27. He was a companion of Iran's counter-terrorism commander, Lt. Gen. Qassem Soleimani, who was killed in a US drone strike in Iraq in January 2020. According to Amir-Abdollahian, the slain SDF commander did a lot to ensure regional security against the Israeli regime's terrorism and crimes in West Asia.
Iran's top diplomat stated that Mousavi's assassination will in no way weaken the Islamic Republic's resolve to maintain regional security, but rather strengthen the country's resolve on the issue. According to him, Israel suffered two defeats in more than 80 days.
"The first defeat came on October 7, and Israel collapsed in every sense of the word, politically and security-wise."
The minister referred to Operation Al-Aqsa Storm, an operation launched by the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas against Israel. And the second defeat was the military defeat of the regime in the last 80 days against the resistance of the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, the foreign minister said.
Israel has killed more than 21,600 people in Gaza since October, most of them women and children. In addition, more than 56,100 people were injured.
However, the regime has failed to achieve its stated goals, including destroying the Hamas organization in Gaza, rescuing those captured during the Al-Aqsa storm, and encouraging the forced displacement of people from Gaza. To a neighboring country.
