The Islamic Jihad has extended its "full solidarity" with the Islamic Republic of Iran in the face of the latest act of aggression by the Israeli regime and the United States.

The Gaza Strip-based Palestinian resistance movement pledged "full solidarity" with Iran after more than 200 people were killed in Saturday’s attacks across Iran.

Abu Hamza, spokesman for al-Quds Brigades, the movement's military wing, made the remarks in a statement in the early hours of Sunday.

The solidarity, he noted, extends to Iran's "leadership, people, army, and the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) "in confronting the treacherous Zionist–American aggression." 

"This targeting is a fully constituted crime under the law of the jungle led by the war criminals [Donald] Trump and [Benjamin] Netanyahu," the spokesperson said, referring to the US president and Israeli prime minister.

"It is an attack on every living entity that rejects colonialism and tutelage and refuses submission to hegemonic will."

The brigades commended the IRGC's decisive retaliation that has seen them carry out at least five waves of counterstrikes against numerous Israeli and American targets so far.

The aggression, it stated, "desperately aims to subjugate it and deter it from its legitimate aspirations." 

Tel Aviv's and Washington's ambitions will not stop at Iran, as the principal supporter of the Resistance," Abu Hamza remarked, urging the Arab nations and the global Muslim community to unite in confronting these expansionist and aggressive schemes.

On Saturday, the regime and the United States carried out yet another unprovoked war of aggression against the Iranian nation, prompting the Iranian armed forces to respond powerfully and vow "complete defeat" of the enemy.

Pertinently, the aggression, like the one in June last year, came amid indirect nuclear negotiations between Tehran and Washington.
