TEHRAN – Iranian Army Commander General Abdulrahim Musabi used the annual QUDS Day Rally on Friday to describe the event as a “global awakening” to Tel Aviv and Washington, vowing to face an imminent collapse of a “rootless Zionist regime.”
In an interview at the Tehran rally, General Musavi declared the day of Quds as a “line between truth and falsehood,” urging “awakened mankind” to unite against the “wicked alliance of Israel and the United States.”
“It is a day when the truth is separated from falsehood, evil and evil,” he said, linking the assembly to the principles of the Qur’an and the revolutionary legacy of Iran.
The general declared that global opposition to the Israeli regime is growing, and that “every year more people will abandon their silence and join the front against the cursed Zionist regime and its American supporters.”
“The Palestine and all the oppressed countries will regain their rights through resistance,” he asserted.
Musabi linked Iran’s strategy to the teachings of Islamic Republic founder Ayatollah Ruhola Khomeini, praised the leader of the Islamic Revolution, and Ayatollah advanced Ali Khamenei on the “road to ultimate victory.”
“The threat has come above us since the beginning of the revolution and is still ongoing, but our answer is always steady. Resistance,” he asserted.
Quds Day: Beacon of Resistance in Israel’s Escalating Atrocities
Founded in 1979 by Imam Khomeini on the QUDS day observed on the last Friday of Ramadan, it evolved into a global platform that denies Israel’s occupation and defends Palestinian sovereignty.
This year’s rally came amid a catastrophic death of more than 50,000 Palestinian civilians in Gaza since October 2023 as Israeli attacks escalated in Lebanon, Syria and the West Bank.
In Lebanon, Israeli airstrikes killed at least 3,700 people, while sporadic attacks in the southern region have brought thousands.
The administration has also repeatedly violated the ceasefire in late 2024, and most recently in a Friday strike in Beirut’s Dahie district.
In the West Bank, Israeli regime’s military invasions and settler violence are linked to expanding reconciliation efforts, but expels communities and strengthens regional instability.
