AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Vessels of the popular Basij force of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Navy will take part in a massive maritime parade in Iran’s northern and southern coastal regions in support of the people of Palestine, the IRGC Navy’s chief said Sunday.
According to the IRGC Navy’s Public Relations, Rear Admiral Alireza Tangsiri said that the maritime parade will be held on April 13 in the northern and southern coastal regions of the country as well as in a number of ports around the world.
“In order to defend the [oppressed] people of Palestine, support their Intifada (uprising), and condemn the heinous and cruel crimes of the Zionist regime, the largest popular parade by the vessels of the IRGC Navy’s Basij is planned for 15:30 on Thursday,” Tangsiri explained.
Since the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan, Israel has ramped up its atrocities against Palestinians, especially in and around the al-Aqsa Mosque compound in the occupied al-Quds.
The Israeli acts of violence have prompted retaliatory rocket attacks and operations from Palestinian resistance fighters.
In a statement on Friday, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani urged the international community and responsible global bodies to take an “effective and deterrent” action against Israel.
