Masjedi added, in an interview with the Iranian Tasnim Agency, that "there is no need for Iran to intervene in the war on the Gaza Strip because the Palestinian resistance is capable of confronting the aggression."
He continued, "Israel is powerless in the face of resistance and will not repair the defeat it suffered in the
Al-Aqsa Flood operation on October 7, no matter what it does."
On the other hand,
Iranian Intelligence Minister Ismail Khatib said, “The assassination of Revolutionary Guard Corps advisor Radhi Mousavi is a crime that will have serious repercussions for Israel.”
The Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, Mohammad Bagheri, said that “the Israelis committed a strategic mistake” by assassinating Mousavi on Syrian territory.
On Monday, Tehran pledged to respond to the assassination of Mousavi, who was killed in an Israeli raid in the Sayyida Zeinab area near the
Syrian capital, Damascus.
According to the Iranian Tasnim Agency, Mousavi was one of the senior commanders of the Revolutionary Guards Corps in Syria, and he was also one of those close to the former Quds Force commander, Qassem Soleimani, who was assassinated in an American raid while leaving Baghdad airport in January 2020.
