Iranian Speaker Declares Al Aqsa Storm Operation Shatters Israel’s Illusion of Invincibility

In a significant development, Iran’s Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf has declared that the Al Aqsa Storm Operation represents a pivotal moment in reshaping the historical narrative, asserting that it has effectively dismantled the Israeli regime’s long-standing image of invincibility.

Qalibaf’s remarks came during a meeting with members of Hamas’ Shura Council, including its chairman, Muhammad Ismail Darwish, in Tehran on Saturday. He emphasized the following key points:

  • For over 75 years, the Zionists have attempted to project an image of invincibility.
  • The Al Aqsa Storm Operation, launched by Hamas on October 7, 2023, has successfully countered these tactics.
  • Qalibaf criticized U.S. President Donald Trump’s plans for resettling Gaza residents, asserting that the Palestinian people have the right to determine their own fate.
  • He reiterated that the Palestinian people will not permit the Zionist regime and the U.S. to execute conspiracies against them.

In response, Muhammad Darwish highlighted the significance of the operation, stating that it illustrated how the resilience of a nation can lead to victory. He noted:

  • Palestinian resistance groups, despite wielding basic weaponry, managed to challenge Israel’s military superiority.
  • The operation has shattered the notion of Israeli invincibility, despite the regime receiving extensive military support from the U.S.
  • The recent ceasefire deal, which paused a prolonged conflict in Gaza starting January 19, signifies a defeat for the Zionist regime.

Earlier on the same day, Darwish and his delegation had separate discussions with the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, and President Masoud Pezeshkian, further underscoring the significance of their mission.
