“The resistance shown by the people of Gaza for about six months under the harshest attacks of the Zionist regime indicates the extent of the resistance’s power and its great capabilities,” General Bagheri said in a meeting with Syria’s defense minister, held in Tehran on Monday.

Hailing the defenseless people of Palestine for their epic struggle against Israeli aggression, he said the Zionist regime’s inhumane crimes have further disgraced its sponsors.

He also slammed the Israeli airstrikes on Syria and Lebanon as evidence of its failure to achieve its illegitimate objectives.

The top Iranian general and the Syria defense minister also conferred on plans for closer military cooperation between the two nations.

Lauding the good progress in the relations between the Iranian and Syria armed forces, Syrian Defense Minister Ali Mahmoud Abbas said the military forces of the two countries, as two members of the Resistance Axis, need to expand coordination in all affairs.

He noted that the world has changed after the Al-Aqsa Storm operation that the Resistance Forces launched outside Gaza on October 7, 2023.
