Nasser Kan’ani, spokesman for Iran’s Foreign Ministry says the continuation of Israel’s crimes and its excessive demands in the recent ceasefire negotiations indicate that the regime is much closer to defeat than "victor".

“The Israeli regime is a cancerous tumor and the focal and central core of the axis of malice in the region,” he said at his weekly press briefing on Monday.

He reiterated Iran’s legal, moral and human commitment to support Palestine and emphasized that moves by the Israeli regime to attribute any incident to the Islamic Republic is “definitely rhetoric and a desperate attempt to hide the facts,” Press TV reports.

Nasser Kan’ani strongly condemned the Israeli regime’s Sunday strikes against several military sites in northwestern Syria with missiles and drones.

“The regime’s attack on regional countries shows that its crimes are not confined to Gaza and it is committing extra-regional crimes,” he said.

Nasser Kan’ani urged Israel’s supporters to stop arming and supporting this regime.
