Speaking in a televised program, Brigadier General Esmaeil Qaani said Washington and Tel Aviv now understand better than before that the force continuing to confront them under the most difficult conditions and refusing to withdraw is the Resistance Front.
Referring to developments since Operation Al-Aqsa Storm, the commander said unprecedented pressure, extensive destruction, and severe crimes in Palestine and Lebanon have failed to eliminate any of the resistance groups. According to Qaani, the continued presence and endurance of these groups have become a source of concern for their adversaries.
The general warned the US and the Zionist regime against confrontation with resistance movements, saying that past years have shown they were unable to overcome them.
He also said Lebanon’s Hezbollah stood alongside Iran during the recent imposed war and described the movement as deeply rooted in Lebanese society and impossible to eliminate through external pressure.
The Quds Force commander further stated that opponents of the resistance have suffered strategic setbacks wherever they engaged with resistance groups.
He pointed to Bab el-Mandeb as one of the strategic cards of the Resistance Front and suggested that additional capabilities could emerge if necessary.
Brigadier General Qaani finally argued that the recent US-Israeli war of aggression against Iran has weakened US credibility and accelerated the decline of the Zionist regime.
