The camp of resistance is not only in Palestine, Lebanon, and Iraq. It is in Palestine, Lebanon, Iraq, Syria, and Iran. Yes, we support Iran, we support Iran, we support Iran, we support Iran. We will not be shaken, and there will be no division among us. We are in the camp of resistance, wherever the resistance may be. We are all men of the resistance, regardless of our political or religious affiliation. We are all men of the resistance, who reject surrender and subordination, who protect the national and religious honor, who reject the Zionist presence on our Palestinian lands, and who call for the unity of our Arab and Islamic nation. We are all in the same camp, we are united and we will be victorious, Allah willing. As for those traitors, if they think they are [safe] on their thrones, they should remember what happened in 1981. Do they remember what happened in 1981? The Egyptian people will never forget its blood vengeance.
