Leader’s Military Adviser: Israel Can’t Diminish the Power of the Resistance Axis
In a recent statement, Brigadier General Amir Hatami, a prominent military adviser to Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, asserted that Israel is unable to dismantle the ideological and military strength of various resistance groups, including Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, and Yemen’s Ansarullah. This declaration was made during a political conference attended by senior commanders of the Iranian Army.
General Hatami highlighted several critical points regarding the current state of Israel:
- Declining Israeli Regime: He noted the diminishing influence of Israel, which European countries once touted as the only democracy in the region.
- Human Rights Violations: The general pointed out that the Israeli Prime Minister and Defense Minister have faced condemnation from the International Criminal Court (ICC) for human rights abuses, with many nations ready to act on the court’s ruling.
- Military Setbacks: Hatami emphasized Israel’s military failures, specifically its defeats in ground battles against Hamas and Hezbollah fighters. He stated, “Not only did the Israeli army fail to destroy Hamas and Hezbollah or free its prisoners, but it was also compelled to retreat and agree to a humiliating ceasefire to avoid further casualties.”
- Economic Struggles: The Iranian official remarked on Israel’s financial difficulties, indicating that the regime is experiencing its worst economic situation to date. He mentioned that credible sources have reported over 4,000 companies leaving Israel, prompting the government to seek billions in loans from Western nations to maintain military operations.
These statements reflect a broader narrative regarding the challenges faced by Israel, both militarily and economically, amid ongoing tensions in the region.
