Hezbollah Gets Stronger: IRGC Deputy Chief


TEHRAN (Tasnim) – A deputy IRGC commander rejected the mistaken belief that Hezbollah has come to an end following the recent Israeli attacks, saying the Lebanese resistance movement has, on the contrary, gotten stronger and continues to strike “irreparable” blows to Zionists.

Speaking to reporters in Tehran on Tuesday, Rear Admiral Ali Fadavi said the “stupid devils of the world” hold the mistaken view that Hezbollah has terminated after the martyrdom of its secretary general Seyed Hassan Nasrallah and its other commanders.

He stressed that Hezbollah has gotten stronger than before, carries out more effective operations, and is dealing irreparable blows to the Zionists.

The general also highlighted the close coordination between “the field and diplomacy” in Iran, adding, “Today, the resistance front has expanded to the entire region, as Iraq, Syria, Palestine and Yemen are acting like a single hand and are making headway rapidly.”

Rear Admiral Fadavi also pointed to the area of the territories occupied by the Israeli regime, which he said equals a small province of Iran, warning that the Islamic Republic can eliminate all Zionists at will.

He made the comments on the sidelines of the funeral of senior IRGC commander Brigadier General Abbas Nilforoushan, who was martyred along with the secretary general of Hezbollah in an Israeli airstrike in Lebanon on September 27.
