TEHRAN -- The chief commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) said on Monday the regional resistance front is at its ultimate status of strength.
“Today, the resistance front is at the height of its power, but the enemies have turned into objects of hatred and are apprehensive and this story is going to continue,” Major General Hussein Salami said during a ceremony in the southeastern Iranian city of Kerman.
Gen. Salami hailed Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement for “imposing its will on Israel,” referring to myriads of retaliatory operation staged by the group that forced Tel Aviv into accepting the terms of a truce deal with Beirut that was struck to end the regime’s escalated deadly aggression against the country.
“The fact that Hezbollah stays on its course, despite those heavy dangers, is down to the struggles of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and Hashem Safieddine, who managed to plant the roots of Jihad within the Lebanese youths’ beliefs.”
The enemies, he said, are killing innocent Muslims out of frustration, but they are no match for the Muslim world’s dedicated youths and are approaching demise as time goes by.
Salami, who was attending a ceremony held for paying tribute to the Islamic Republic’s former top anti-terror commander General Qassem Soleimani, commended the martyr for his unstinting sacrifices for the regional Muslim nations.
General Soleimani made history for many pending decades, he said, asserting that the martyr, who was assassinated in a United States drone strike against Baghdad in 2020, spared no endeavor to establish peace and security across the region.
“At certain junctures, when the enemies were after destroying Muslims, Martyr Soleimani entered the field and foiled all conspiracies,” he said.
