“The Zionist regime is nearing collapse, this is not a slogan, it is a battlefield reality,” said Mehdi Taeb, commander of Iran’s Ammar Headquarters, during a ceremony in the northern city of Amol.

“If they want to act again, they first need to recover from the crushed state they’re in,” he said, referring to the possibility of future Israeli strikes on Iran.

He claimed Iran’s power comes from public unity and the “blood of martyrs,” and warned that any Israeli ground spread would only accelerate its downfall.
