The commander of the Quds Force of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Esmail Qaani, affirmed that
“America today faces a united front in the Strait of Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb,”
stressing that
“the entire resistance constitutes a single front, united across all theaters of confrontation.”
In his remarks, Qaani stated:
“America’s shortsighted leaders must understand, if they wish to avoid a catastrophic miscalculation, that the strategic depth of a front cannot be measured solely by the range of its weapons. The depth of the resistance must also be taken into account. Otherwise, they will face a war fought with weapons in Hormuz and the liberation of Bab el-Mandeb through the resistance.”
He added:
“America’s arrogant president, trusting Netanyahu’s deceptive words, embarked on the gamble of war with Iran. The result was that, through his stubbornness, he squandered America’s 250-year reputation and lost control of the Strait of Hormuz.”
Qaani further emphasized that
“the Resistance Front has also forced America into defeat in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.”
The Quds Force commander continued:
“Following the Supreme Leader’s message, if America persists in its reckless gambling in this war, the firmly established Resistance Front, through calculated and intelligent strategies across both the immediate battlefield and its strategic depth, is capable of delivering decisive blows against America.”
