Gen. Qaani: American–Zionist forces lose credibility wherever they confront resistance

Pars Today – The commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Force said that the American–Zionist enemy has lost its credibility wherever it has engaged with the resistance.

According to Pars Today, citing IRNA, Brigadier General Esmail Qaani, commander of the IRGC Quds Force, said in an interview with Iranian television’s News Network on Monday night that today the United States fully understands—and the Israeli regime even more so—that the force standing against them in the most difficult conditions and continuing the struggle without retreat is the “resistance.”

He added that this period itself has proven this reality: from the “Al-Aqsa Storm” operation to the present, the harshest pressures have been imposed, the greatest levels of destruction carried out, and the most horrific crimes committed in Palestine and Lebanon, yet no resistance group has withdrawn from the field. He said this steadfastness has deeply frightened the enemies.

Brigadier General Esmail Qaani said that the elements of the resistance front have been at the forefront of the struggle in an imposed war, adding that the entire Axis of Resistance demonstrated strong performance in the recent conflict. He stated that whether fighters operating on the battlefield or those engaged at the negotiating table, they all belong to the same “resistance identity.”

He added that wherever the American–Zionist enemy has confronted the resistance, it has been left without credibility. He also described the Bab al-Mandeb Strait as one of the key strategic assets of the resistance front, warning that other “cards” could be revealed if necessary.

Qaani further said that the “third imposed war” had delegitimized the United States, and that the trajectory of the Israeli regime’s collapse had gained momentum following this conflict.

He also stated that Hezbollah fought alongside Iran for 104 days during this war, asserting that Hezbollah cannot be eliminated and that no one can stand against it.

Referring to developments in Lebanon, he said the Iranian negotiating team responded firmly and decisively to the Israeli regime’s aggression and its intermediaries, emphasizing that the stance taken in the Lebanon file proved that both battlefield actors and diplomats are part of the same resistance framework.
