Iranian leader Sayyed Ali Khamenei emphasized that aiding the Palestinian people is the responsibility of every person in the Islamic world.

The Iranian leader delivered these comments during a meeting with Sheikh Ibrahim Zakzaky, the leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria, on Saturday.

Regarding Operation Al-Aqsa Flood operation, he stated that today, one of the indications of the strength of Islam is the events unfolding in Palestine.

He expressed sorrow for the Palestinian people enduring the Israeli atrocities, stressing that the Palestinians' resistance against Zionism will ultimately result in their complete triumph.

Regarding the establishment of the Islamic system in Iran since the Islamic Revolution in 1979, he noted that the Islamic Republic has consistently grown stronger over time and will continue to do so in the future.

He emphasized that the Islamic movement is currently spreading across various regions of the world, including Africa, Asia, Europe, and North America. Moreover, he expressed that the progress of this movement will persist with even more vigor.

Sheikh Zakzaky arrived in Tehran on Wednesday and received a warm reception from the local populace.

Earlier today, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian asserted that the Resistance front is ready to provide a firm and conclusive response when the international community fails to promptly intervene and prevent "Israel" from committing further war crimes.

During a press conference held in Beirut, Iran's senior diplomat extended his condolences to the journalists present for the loss of their fellow reporter at the hands of the Israeli occupation.

Amir-Abdollahian highlighted that leaders within the Resistance movement had assured him of their readiness to react to any aggression from "Tel Aviv", emphasizing that the decision regarding the direction of events, whether it involves an escalation of conflict or a ceasefire, ultimately rests with the Resistance factions.

This is happening as Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Gaza said there can be no valid death count now as the bodies are currently administered en masse into hospitals, all of whom are civilians.

The latest report estimates that the number of Palestinians killed in the aggression exceeded 2,000, including hundreds of children and women, noting that the occupation is intensifying air and sea strikes on Gaza, which predicts that the numbers are expected to rise massively.
