Member of the parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Esmayeel Kosari said on Sunday that the Islamic Republic of Iran offered diplomatic and military support to resistance and provided Hamas with its military capabilities and technologies.
"We have always reiterated that we will support whoever stands against Israel," Kosari stated.
He further said Israel failured to achieve its objectives in the recent onslaught on the Gaza Strip, and noted, "The recent failure was added to the previous failures of the Zionist regime (Israel), and in the near future we will see that this regime will have to escape because the definite collapse of the al-Quds-occupying regime is imminent."
Kowsari also said Israel pursued several objectives by attacking Gaza, including boosting the morale of its people and military forces and erasing the memory of its failure in the 22-day war.
The Israeli regime waged a 22-day war on the densely populated Gaza Strip in 2008, which left more than 1,400 Palestinians, including at least 300 children, dead.
Over 165 Palestinians, including women and children, were killed and about 1,269 others were injured in the Israeli attacks on Gaza that were carried out during the eight-day period of November 14-21.
On Wednesday, Egypt announced that the Israeli regime and the Palestinian resistance movement of Hamas had reached a ceasefire agreement. Under the deal, the Palestinians and Israelis agreed to end all hostilities.
