⚫️ The Islamic Jihad Movement spokesperson, Mohammed Al-Haj Musa:
—
And when the Islamic Republic responded—striking back—the sirens wailed in occupied Palestine, in the skies over the usurped land.
I tell you, those sirens also wailed in the hearts of all Palestinians, for this Iranian response was a response on our behalf. These Iranian strikes were for us, on our path.
This people of Gaza, who have endured a brutal war, a continuing genocide, and starvation—living now in tents or beneath the rubble—have found someone who stands by them and defends them in the fullest sense of the word.
We affirm that what has taken place in various arenas of support—and is now manifesting in the Islamic Republic of Iran—has its central cause in Palestine, and is for the sake of Palestine.
The Islamic Republic is not being attacked or confronted today because it “intervenes,” as some claim. No—it’s because it says “No” It refuses to yield. It refuses to abandon the Palestinian people amid a global alignment supporting the zionist occupation and its genocidal war.
This, then, is a war for Gaza. A war for Palestine. Since the dawn of the Revolution in 1979, the slogans of Imam Khomeini and all the leaders who gave what they could—including the signature of the martyr Qassem Soleimani on every launcher and missile that reached the expanse of Palestine’s geography—affirm that the jihad of the Republic is a support for the Palestinian people.
So let it be clear: this is not some emotional bias.The Palestinian people today are making their choices. Despite all the harsh conditions, we still believe—and will continue to believe—that the rifle is the only legitimate solution, and that resistance in all its forms is our unifying path.
We reject and denounce all forms of sectarian or doctrinal division.
We are now at a true crossroads:
Either you are with the nation of Muhammad ibn Abdullah—the nation that resists occupation, oppression, and humiliation—or you stand in the camp of those who seek Al-Quds as “Yerushalayim,” defending and supporting the occupation.
The matter is now crystal clear. There is no gray area. This is the certainty of the Palestinian people.
The Palestinian joy today is not like any other joy.
Who rejoices?
The hungry.
The wounded.
The oppressed.
The grieving.
The burned—in heart and soul.
The one whose home has been destroyed.
Whose family has been killed.
Who suffers and suffers again.
He stands and smiles in these moments, for he sees hope in a nation-a nation now embodied by the Islamic Republic—a true nation amid Arab abandonment.
A nation that says “no” to the occupier in the harshest of circumstances.
The Islamic Republic does not possess what the United States does.This is what everyone must understand.
The Islamic Republic does not fight from behind a shield that protects its leaders and people. Its resources are limited, but it has prepared its people spiritually and psychologically for forty years to belong to this nation.
It has prepared its people to become the strategic weapon of the Islamic Republic:
this certainty in the hearts of Iranians that they belong to the Islamic Ummah, and that they are duty-bound to support the cause with their blood and lives—to sacrifice everything they can.
Therefore, it is only natural for us as Palestinians to say that this blood is our blood, that this cause is our cause. Any strike on Tehran is, to us, a strike on Gaza, on Al-Quds, on Palestinian Akka.
We rejoice—we are filled with joy—when these missiles and shells strike at the heart of the entity. We feel that our occupied, sacred land—this land of the prophets—resonates with these flames, turning into fire upon the occupier, scorching him in anger and vengeance for all the sacrifices made by the Palestinian people, and in response to the continuing crimes of the enemy.
