IRGC Quds Force Commander: Resistance Front Endures Despite Pressure

Brigadier General Esmaeil Ghaani, commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Quds Force, stated that neither the United States nor the Israeli regime has succeeded in forcing resistance groups out of the field. He emphasized that Washington and Tel Aviv now understand better than before that the force continues to confront them under the most difficult conditions.

Referring to developments since Operation Al-Aqsa Storm, Ghaani said that unprecedented pressure, extensive destruction, and severe crimes in Palestine and Lebanon have failed to eliminate any of the resistance groups. The continued presence and endurance of these groups have become a source of concern for their adversaries, he underlined.

The general warned the US and the Zionist regime against confrontation with resistance movements, noting that past years have shown they were unable to overcome them. He also said Lebanon’s Hezbollah Resistance Movement 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.

Ghaani 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. Finally, he argued that the recent US-Israeli war of aggression against Iran has weakened US credibility and accelerated the decline of the Zionist regime.

According to Mehr News, these remarks were made by Brigadier General Ghaani in a recent statement.
