The head of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards describes the arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defence minister Yova Gallant as the “end and political death” of Israel.
“This means the end and political death of the Zionist regime, a regime that today lives in absolute political isolation in the world and its officials can no longer travel to other countries,” Revolutionary Guards chief General Hossein Salami says in the speech aired on state TV.
In the first official reaction by Iran, Salami calls the ICC warrant “a welcome move” and a “great victory for the Palestinian and Lebanese resistance movements,” in reference to terror organizations supported by Tehran.
