Resistance Front Takes Bold Stand to End the Occupiers’ Disgraceful Reign
The recent statement from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) commemorates the first anniversary of the martyrdom of Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Zahedi and his deputy, Mohammad Hadi Haji Rahimi. Both commanders tragically lost their lives in an Israeli attack on the Iranian consulate in Damascus, Syria, on April 1, 2024. This event highlights ongoing geopolitical tensions and the enduring conflict in the region.
According to Press TV, the IRGC’s announcement emphasized that the actions of the Israeli regime and its American allies will not impede their perceived inevitable decline. The statement read:
“The Zionist and American acts of sedition in the region will not be able to halt the occupying Israeli regime’s rapid move towards decline and collapse.”
The IRGC underscored the resilience of the Palestinian resistance, stating that the courageous fighters, backed by global solidarity from nations, including those in Europe and the US, will ultimately dismantle the “disgraceful existence” of the occupiers in Palestine. The statement continued:
“By the grace of God, the resistance front, especially the brave and courageous Palestinian fighters, who now enjoy the great support and solidarity of nations across the globe, including in Europe and the US, will ultimately bring an end to the disgraceful existence of the occupiers of Palestine.”
Key points from the IRGC’s statement include:
- The liberation of al-Aqsa Mosque is seen as paramount and will dominate global media headlines.
- The anti-arrogance and anti-Zionist resistance is described as an “undeniable” reality destined for final victory.
- The martyrdom of Zahedi and Haji Rahimi, along with other crimes committed by the Israeli regime, will not overshadow the achievements of the resistance front.
- The IRGC claims that Israel’s military and intelligence services are no longer invincible.
- The Israeli regime has struggled to restore security following the loss of the IRGC commanders.
Furthermore, the IRGC pointed out that by accepting a ceasefire agreement, the Israeli regime conceded to the determination and faith of the Palestinian resistance movement, Hamas, and the Palestinian fighters. This reflects a significant shift in the dynamics of power within the region.
Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Zahedi was born in 1960 and became a member of the IRGC in 1980. He held various key positions during his military career, including:
- Commander of the IRGC Air Force from 2005 to 2006.
- Commander of the IRGC Ground Forces from 2006 to 2008.
- Commander of the IRGC Quds Force from 2008 to 2016.
Zahedi was notably active during the Iraq-imposed war from 1980 to 1988, where he distinguished himself within the elite forces. His leadership roles have solidified his legacy within the IRGC and among those who support the Iranian military efforts.
The IRGC’s statement not only serves as a remembrance of the fallen commanders but also as a rallying cry for continued resistance against perceived oppression. It embodies the ongoing struggle for Palestinian rights and sovereignty, reflecting a narrative that resonates deeply within the region and among international supporters of the Palestinian cause.
In conclusion, the IRGC’s remarks on the first anniversary of Zahedi and Haji Rahimi’s martyrdom encapsulate the deep-rooted conflicts and sentiments surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian issue. As global attention remains focused on the region, the call for liberation and resistance continues to echo among supporters of the Palestinian movement.
