TEHRAN – Major General Hossein Salami, Chief Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC), has predicted an imminent "amazing victory" for the Palestinian people who have been resolutely resisting Israel in the past 11 months. 

During a ceremony commemorating 1,100 Iran-Iraq war martyrs in Fasa, Iran on Thursday, Salami lauded the resilience of Gazans, stating, "The resilient and amazing people of Gaza have shown that by relying on the power of faith, the enemy can be isolated and that faith will never fail in the face of an enemy that has lost its dignity." 

He attributed the shift in the global power balance to the presence of the Islamic Revolution, saying it has led to a victory. Emphasizing the unwavering faith of Palestinians, Salami asserted, "They have proved that the enemy will suffer a defeat when it uses all its advanced equipment and wages a war against a defenseless but faithful nation living in a blockaded territory." 

Addressing the recent Israeli attacks on Lebanon, Salami praised the strength of Hezbollah, stating, "The brave and strong Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah is fighting the enemy at the points of contact." He acknowledged Hezbollah's daily victories, predicting a "final victory" against Israel, adding, "They will achieve a final victory this time just like previous wars with Israel and will ‘add another disappointment’ to the enemies' plans." 

Salami expressed unwavering confidence in Hezbollah's ability to overcome any opposition, stating, "If the United States, Britain, France, and all their allies unite, they will never be able to achieve success in the face of Hezbollah’s will in the eastern Mediterranean. They are doomed to failure, God willing."
