Mohsen Rezai: "As a mujahid in the army of the great Islamic world, and as a fighter in the Islamic resistance, I believe it to be my responsibility to help [the Palestinians].
[...]
"I felt that I had to write to the commander of the Al-Qassam Brigades, and to express my support. I wrote that they should not be on the defense alone. Rather, they should set out from their posts. As you know, Israel has a weakness: When two or three people, two or three soldiers, are captured, Israel will surrender.
[...]
"From now on, if Israel attacks, it should not expect the [Palestinian] fighters to remain in their posts. There are 1.8 million people in the Gaza Strip. Half of them are women, which leaves us with 900,000. If we deduct the children and the elderly from these 900,000, we are left with 500,000 or 600,000 men capable of bearing arms. If only 100,000 begin to take action, Israel will not be able to withstand it. In future wars, Israel should not expect the Palestinians to wait for the raids in their homes. They will cross the borders, and a third Intifada will begin.

"I personally would like to say that we should provide the Palestinians with defense and weapon technology, so that they will be able to produce weapons even when under siege."
Interviewer: "Was this technology really provided to the Palestinian resistance – the technology to produce missiles and weapons, with which to confront Israel? Is this still going on?"
Rezai: "How do you think these missiles were produced? All these missiles are the fruit of the technology provided to Palestine.
[...]
"I would like to tell the mujahideen in Palestine that they should think of a way to protect the civilians. They could dig tunnels, and when a war breaks out, the people could take refuge in these tunnels. All the people will go underground.
[...]
"They use the tunnels to launch missiles, but they should also use them to protect the civilians. In my letter to Mr. Rouhani, I called for the Islamic countries to provide air-defense systems to the Islamic resistance.
[...]
"If Israel was capable of attacking [Iran], it would not have hesitated to do so. What has prevented Israel from attacking Iran was the realization that such a thing would be the end of it for Israel. There would no longer be such a thing called 'Israel'."
