Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi received, on Sunday, the Secretary-General of the Islamic Jihad Movement, Ziad Al-Nakhalah, and his accompanying delegation.

The Iranian President reaffirmed that "Iran will always stand by the Palestinian people, and will support their just cause, which is also the cause of Muslims."

The PIJ leader said, earlier on Saturday, that the Iranian-backed Resistance front has grown so powerful, forcing the Israeli enemy to progressively advance toward doom.

Al-Nakhalah made the comments during a meeting with Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, the speaker of the Iranian parliament, in Tehran.

Al-Nakhalah made a point during the conference that, prior to the Iranian Islamic Revolution in 1979, the Islamic movements against the Israeli occupation had seen a string of setbacks.

Nevertheless, he said that after the Iranian Islamic Revolution, the Islamic Umma (Nation) was awoken, and the Resistance was established based on a reliance on "God's will" and "people's might".

Al-Nakhalah added that the Resistance Front, which is supported and inspired by the Islamic Republic of Iran, has become too powerful at this point, forcing the Israeli enemy to gradually observe a trend toward destruction.
