The commander of the Revolutionary Guards' Quds Force said on Thursday (April 16) that the Islamic Republic of Iran "supports those fighting" against Israel "and that this support" continues. "
Ismail Kani praised the Palestinians for the recent clashes inside Israel, calling the killing of Israeli soldiers and civilians an "heroic" operation.
The words of the Quds Force commander of the Revolutionary Guards were made at a time when the removal of the name of the Revolutionary Guards from the list of terrorists had become one of the central issues in the negotiation process between Iran and the de facto locked world powers.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff of the US Armed Forces and the US State Department stressed last week that the Quds Force of the Revolutionary Guards is a terrorist organization.
According to Iranian news agencies, Ismail Kaani, on the first anniversary of the death of Muhammad Hajazi, a senior commander of the Revolutionary Guards, said of the new round of crisis between Israel and the Palestinians that "the pillars of the Israeli regime will be shaken."
Dozens of people have been killed and injured in a new round of security crisis in the past three weeks, and Israeli security forces have arrested an unknown number of Palestinians.
