IRGC Quds Force Chief Asserts Unified Resistance Stands Firm With Enhanced Hezbollah Support
The Quds Force leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has strongly rejected Israeli claims attempting to diminish Hezbollah's influence and emphasized unwavering backing from regional resistance forces for the group.
In a statement released on Monday, Brigadier General Esmail Qa’ani asserted that the steadfast resilience demonstrated by Hezbollah in Lebanon has effectively debunked the claims made by the Zionist regime. He argued that the regime’s narratives about the demise of resistance and the elimination of Hezbollah are merely fabrications.
“The various arenas of resistance are rallying behind the heroic Hezbollah with remarkable strength and unity greater than ever before,” he stated.
The remarks were made against the backdrop of the regime’s persistent breaches of a 10-day ceasefire declared earlier this month, which has been met with unwavering retaliation from Hezbollah.
In recent developments, Tel Aviv has been exerting pressure on Lebanon to take action regarding the disarmament of Hezbollah. Alongside these efforts, there have been claims circulated suggesting a decline in Hezbollah’s military capabilities and resolve. However, the group has firmly denied these allegations, maintaining its stance against such narratives.
Qa’ani highlighted the extensive resources and substantial financial investments involved in the campaign against Hezbollah. He emphasized the considerable sums of American taxpayers’ money dedicated to undermining Hezbollah, pointing to the U.S. support for Israel’s actions against Lebanon.
He stated that the “Zionist regime is more helpless and frustrated than ever against the ingenuity and resilience of Lebanon’s courageous youth.”
The commander stated that the regime, over recent years, consistently failed to conclusively end the wars it initiated. He labeled it as “the great loser” and the “humiliated party” in those aggressive episodes.
