Gaza has fully exposed Israel and its supporters. Israel now is a terrorist state in the eyes of the world. Israel is the only country in the world that is deliberately targeting United Nations aid workers and it has banned UN Secretary-General Mr. Antonio Guterres’s entry into Israel. Israel is a country that has crushed under its feet all international laws, norms, and values including UNO, UNSC, UNGA, ICJ, OIC, and others. Billions of people came out on the streets to protest against GAZA GENOCIDE but Israel became deaf and dumb. It is an organized well-planned butchery and genocide. According to the UN, at least 1.9 million people, or about 90 percent of the population, across the Gaza Strip are internally displaced. Many have been displaced repeatedly, some ten times or more. Between 7 October 2023 and 9 October 2024 according to the Ministry of Health (MoH) Gaza more than 42,010 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza and 97,720 have been wounded. 228 UNRWA team members have been killed. 128 journalists and media workers were also killed. 40 journalists are injured, 2 journalists are missing, and 69 journalists have been arrested. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), 67.6 percent of Gaza’s cropland had been damaged. Additionally, over 75 percent of the orchards and other trees, 67 percent of the crops, and 58.5 percent of the vegetables had been damaged. Furthermore, most of the Gaza City Port infrastructure and vessels affected trade and livelihoods.
These statistics are horrific and enough to explain the barbarism, cruelty, inhumanity, and savageness of Israel a global symbol of terrorism.

Israel has modern and state-of-the-art aircraft like F15, F 16 while Iran is relying on old aircraft of the 60s and 70s and the Russian SU 24. Iran also has drones Fateh 1 and 2, Shahid 126 etc.
Iran possesses immense spiritual power under the leadership of Ali Hosseini Khamenei and the whole nation is filled with the unmatched religious spirit of Shahadah. Israel mostly relies on US support while India is also a major source of weaponizing Israel. Currently, there are about 30, 000 Indians in Israel. If Iran relies and has a trust on India it would be a fatal mistake as everybody knows that India is a strategic ally of the USA and a staunch supporter of Israel. Israel provided full support to India in occupied Kashmir and similar to Israel India too is committing genocide in Kashmir.
Iran is bearing unjustified and illegal sanctions by the USA and other Western countries. It learned self-reliance. Iran is the name of the ideology, spiritualism, unwavering faith in Allah Almighty, deep-rooted love of Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him), and a great spirit of patriotism.
