Nov 22, 2024, 08:17 AM

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) commander, Hossein Salami, has declared that the International Criminal Court's (ICC) decision to issue arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister signifies the 'political death' of Israel. Salami stated that this ruling marks the end of the Zionist regime, which he claims lives in absolute political isolation globally. He also called for an economic blockade of Israel by land, sea, and air, particularly by Muslim countries, and emphasized that the Iranian people should be assured that revenge against Israel will be taken. The ICC ruling is seen as a victory for Palestine, and Salami's statements reflect Iran's stance on the matter.
