Major General Yahya Rahim Safavi, a senior advisor to Iran's Supreme Leader, stated that Iran and Israel are engaged in an 'existential war' and that Iran will survive while the 'Zionist entity' will disappear, according to Iranian media.
Major General Yahya Rahim Safavi, a senior advisor to Iran's Supreme Leader, said Saturday that Iran and Israel are locked in an 'existential war' and that Iran will outlast the 'Zionist entity'. His remarks, carried by Iranian Telegram channels, align with a series of recent statements from Iranian officials and analysts asserting Iran's long-term strategic resilience. The Zioneer has previously covered related commentary from figures including Mohsen Rezaei and Ayatollah Javadi Amoli, who echoed similar themes of Iranian permanence and the transience of Israel. Safavi did not cite a specific military operation or timeframe. The statement is consistent with Iran's leadership rhetoric during its period of direct confrontation with Israel since early 2026.
