Palestinian Islamic Jihad chief in Tehran calls Iran 'home of resistance'

Feb 20, 2025, 16:34 GMT+0

Palestinian Islamic Jihad leader Ziyad al-Nakhalah praised Iran for its support of allied armed groups in the region, calling it a crucial factor in their military operations against Israel.

Speaking in Tehran on Thursday during a meeting with Iran’s armed forces chief Mohammad Bagheri, he called Iran the "home of the resistance."

"The victories of the resistance in Palestine and Lebanon were achieved with the support and effective role of the Islamic Republic of Iran," he said.

He also described Iran’s direct involvement in the True Promise 1 and 2 operations—missile and drone attacks launched by Iran on Israel—as a "strategic and influential shift in the spirit of the region’s nations."
