TEHRAN – A senior commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) says a powerful alliance has been established between the Resistance Front and the Islamic Republic of Iran, thanks to the efforts of General Qassem Soleimani and his loyal companions.

Iraj Masjedi, who serves as a top advisor to the commander of the IRGC Quds Force made the remarks at a ceremony honoring the martyr Milad Bidi, an Iranian military advisor killed in a recent Israeli attack on Beirut. 

Masjedi noted the persistent efforts of the enemy, which seeks revenge through the killing of civilians and the assassination of leaders, fighters, and Resistance leaders. "The enemy tries its best, but it has no other weapon than to massacre women and children and to assassinate officials, fighters, and leaders of the Resistance," he added.

Despite these threats, Masjedi assured that the iron will of the Iranian nation, the Islamic Republic, and the Islamic Resistance Front will not be weakened or pushed back by these losses, bombings, and martyrdoms. "The iron will of the Iranian nation, the Islamic Republic, and the Islamic resistance front will not be weakened or pushed back by these martyrdoms, losses, and bombings," he emphasized.

He reiterated that the legacy of the late Lieutenant General Soleimani, along with the valiant fighters of the Resistance, has forged a formidable alliance between the Resistance Front and the Islamic Republic of Iran. 

The assassination of Ismail Haniyeh on Wednesday, has intensified tensions. Haniyeh, who was in Iran to attend the inauguration ceremony of the newly elected President Masoud Pezeshkian, was targeted in an attack that has been widely condemned by many countries.

The Leader of Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei warned of a "harsh response" to the recent atrocity, and reaffirmed the Islamic Republic's duty to avenge the blood of the Resistance leader.

Israel has also killed more than 39,600 Palestinians, mostly children and women, in Gaza since October.
