TEHRAN – A high-ranking commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has issued a stern warning that Resistance forces will persist in their operations as long as the United States-backed Israeli airstrikes on Gaza continue.

On Thursday, Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Fallahzadeh, Deputy Commander of the IRGC’s Quds Force, stated that in response to Israel's relentless bombing of Gaza following the al-Aqsa Storm operation, various Resistance groups have united in their efforts against Tel Aviv, launching attacks from multiple fronts across the region.

According to General Fallahzadeh, these Resistance groups have targeted areas where both the U.S. and Israeli interests are deeply entrenched, vowing that their operations will not cease as long as the bombings and atrocities in Gaza persist. 

He emphasized that the al-Aqsa Storm operation marked a turning point, after which the Israeli regime experienced significant setbacks, leading the United States to intervene in a desperate attempt to regain control and stabilize the situation.

Highlighting the achievements of Hezbollah, Fallahzadeh pointed out that Lebanon’s resistance movement has effectively neutralized three Israeli military units, leaving them in a state of complete disarray. He also mentioned that the Iraqi resistance movement has increased pressure on U.S. forces in the region, with a total of 100 drone strikes carried out against American targets so far.

General Fallahzadeh further criticized Israel's foundation, describing it as being built on a legacy of terror. He stated that the Israeli regime has been responsible for the assassination of 280 resistance figures, including the recent killing of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran. 

The IRGC commander also condemned Israel for engaging in a genocidal campaign, stating that Israeli bombardments have led to the deaths of 40,000 Palestinians, primarily women and children, in Gaza. 

He noted that these actions are part of a broader strategy to dismantle Palestinian family structures, fueling global outrage and increasing awareness of the dire humanitarian situation in the region.

Since the onset of the war in Gaza, the Israeli military has reportedly killed over 40,000 Palestinians, many of whom are women and children, drawing widespread condemnation from the international community.
