AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Deputy Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Brigadier General Aziz Nasirzadeh says the Resistance Front has expanded its authority, power, and geography thanks to the sacrifices made by martyr General Qassem Soleimani.
Nasirzadeh made the remarks on Tuesday ahead of the fourth martyrdom anniversary of General Soleimani, commander of the Quds Force of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) who was assassinated in a US drone strike in the Iraqi capital of Baghdad on January 3, 2020.
Pointing to the legendary commander’s role in the revival of the resistance front, Nasirzadeh said, “Martyr Soleimani expanded the geography of resistance at the regional level and made the resistance front self-sufficient.”
Stressing that the resistance front’s power, self-sufficiency and self-reliance result from the top Iranian anti-terror commander’s efforts, Nasirzadeh said, “The expansion of the geography of resistance is beholden to the sacrifices of Martyr Soleimani, and the result of the Palestinian resistance will definitely be the liberation of occupied al-Quds.”
He also touched upon the latest developments in Palestine and underlined that the Palestinian resistance forces’ equipment is “fully indigenous.”
“The Palestinian resistance forces are self-sufficient in terms of weapons and equipment and have been able to defeat the criminal Zionists,” Nasirzadeh added.
General Soleimani, Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, the second-in-command of Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Units (PMU), and their companions were assassinated in a US drone strike authorized by then-US President Donald Trump near Baghdad International Airport on January 3, 2020.
Both commanders were highly revered across the Middle East because of their key role in fighting the Daesh Takfiri terrorist group in the region, particularly in Iraq and Syria.
