Iran’s Revolutionary Guard has applauded the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas and called it a “great victory” for Hamas and the resistance front.
“This great victory, like the ‘al-Aqsa storm,’ which was a multifaceted and irreparable defeat for the Zionists, did not bring any gains for the Zionist regime, and the resistance remained alive, thriving and strong,” the Guard said in a statement on Thursday, referring to the Oct. 7, 2023 surprise attack that sparked the war.
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei later said in a post on social platform X that the patience of the resistance front forced Israel to retreat.
“It will be written in books that there was a mob who once killed thousands of children & women in Gaza! Everyone will realize it was the patience of the people & steadfastness of Palestinian Resistance & Resistance Front that forced Zionist regime to retreat,” he wrote in a post on the social platform X on Thursday.

An 18-year-old student fatally stabbed two people at a high school in northern Slovakia on Thursday, authorities said.
One other person was in critical condition, the Slovak rescue service said. The stabbings took place in Spisska Stara Ves, a small town on the border with Poland that has a population of over 2,000 people.
The suspect initially fled, but police said that he was detained shortly after the attack.
Police said that the suspect attacked a teacher and two students. Further details weren't immediately available.
A 51-year-old deputy principal of the high school and a 18-year old student, both female, were killed, The Associated Press quoted the rescue service as saying.
President Peter Pellegrini called the attack “a real tragedy” and offered condolences along with Prime Minister Robert Fico to the relatives.
“No problem in the world can be solved with a knife or any other weapon,” Pellegrini said.
Interior Minister Matúš Šutaj Eštok and Education Minister Tomáš Drucker traveled to the town.
Drucker said that he would work to take steps to prevent such attacks in the future and protect students and teachers.
Such attacks are rare in Slovakia. In 2020, a 22-year-old former student attacked a high school in the town of Vrutky, killing the deputy principal and wounding five people, including two students. In 2022, a high school student attacked and injured a female pupil at a high school in Novaky.
