Basij Commander: Millions of Iranians Ready for Deployment in Gaza
http://english.farsnews.com/newstext.aspx?nn=13930826000647

TEHRAN (FNA)- Commander of Iran's Basij (volunteer) force Brigadier General
Mohammad Reza Naqdi said millions of Iranian people are ready to be sent to
Gaza to help the Palestinians in their fight against the Zionist regime.

"Millions of Basijis (volunteer forces) are ready in Iran to be dispatched
to Syria and Gaza and they have come to us (for registration)," Naqdi said
in a press conference in Tehran on Monday.

He had also earlier stated the same, but underlined that "there is no need
to dispatch troops to Gaza" as Palestinian youth are enough to battle the
Israelis.

Also in an interview on Sunday, he elaborated on Iran's plans to arm the
West Bank like the Gaza Strip to defend itself against the Israeli attacks,
and said, "The most serious job is that they need to receive the necessary
trainings and skills, as today, Gaza has its own defensive industry and they
have stood on their feet, we also try to implement the same plan in the West
Bank, God willing."

His remarks came after Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah
Seyed Ali Khamenei Khamenei strongly condemned Israel's recent 51-day war on
Gaza, and underlined that Palestinians, including those in the West Bank,
should continue their armed struggle against Tel Aviv.

"We believe the West Bank, too, should be armed just like Gaza and those who
are interested in the fate of the Palestinians must work in this respect so
that the pains and miseries of the Palestinian people will be decreased due
to their mighty hands and the weakness of the Zionist enemy," he underlined
in July.

After the Leader's order, other Iranian officials also underscored the
necessity for arming the Palestinians in the West Bank, saying that the move
would lead to Israel's collapse.

"The continued war in Gaza will accelerate arming the West Bank and
annihilation of the occupiers," Deputy Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed
Forces Brigadier General Massoud Jazzayeri said in Tehran in August.

"The holy Quds occupiers' fear from arming the people and the resistance
movement in the West Bank shows how deeply Tel Aviv is vulnerable to the
start of a new phase of (Palestinians') fight and resistance," he added.

Jazzayeri said during the past decade and after the Zionist regime's defeats
in the 33-day, 8-day and 22-day wars in Lebanon and Gaza and the recent war
against the Palestinians, the world public opinion has become aware of this
bitter reality that the usurper Israeli regime is a cancerous tumor.
