Araghchi made the remarks during a meeting with senior leaders of Palestinian resistance groups in Tehran on Saturday.
“The Zionist enemy and criminal America think that by assassinating the leaders of the resistance they can destroy this blessed tree, but in practice the pure blood of the resistance martyrs has brought disgrace and defeat upon the American criminals and the Zionist regime,” he said.
The Palestinian officials, who traveled to Tehran to attend the farewell ceremony for the martyred Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, expressed condolences over the martyrdom of the Leader, Iranian officials, and civilians during the US-Israeli war of aggression.
They also voiced solidarity with the Iranian nation and praised the late Leader’s “historic and courageous” support for the Palestinian cause.
The Palestinian delegation also condemned the Israeli regime’s “colonial genocide” in Gaza and the West Bank, stressing the moral, religious, and legal responsibility of all countries, particularly Islamic states, to support the Palestinian people and hold Israeli leaders accountable.
