In a message on Monday night, Brigadier General Qaani said the “timely and powerful action” taken by “heroic Yemen” reflected the strategic awareness of the resistance front.
“If necessary, others will also come,” he added.
“From the Strait of Hormuz to Bab el-Mandeb, and from the Persian Gulf to the Red Sea, there will be a new security belt of resistance,” the commander stated.
He warned that the “acts of aggression” by the Zionist regime and the United States in the region would draw a reaction from the united resistance front.
Addressing the enemies, the IRGC Quds Force commander said, “Borderless fighters are overseeing your transit chokepoints. Continue your aggression and they will seize your throat.”
His remarks came amid heightened regional tensions following Israeli strikes on Beirut’s southern suburbs and continued violations of the April 8 ceasefire agreement, developments that triggered a series of Iranian retaliatory actions against Israeli military targets.
The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps announced that it had targeted the Ramat David airbase with ballistic missiles, describing it as a source of Israeli aggression against Lebanon, including attacks that caused civilian casualties and displacement in the Dahiyeh district of Beirut and southern Lebanon.
On Monday morning, the IRGC carried out ‘Operation Nasr (Victory),’ striking the Tel Nof and Nevatim airbases in the occupied territories, in response to Israeli missile attacks on radar installations inside Iran.
Meanwhile, Iran’s Khatam al-Anbia Central Headquarters announced the cessation of military operations against the Israeli regime on Monday afternoon, while warning that the halt should not be interpreted as restraint in the face of future aggression.
The headquarters stated that Iranian Armed Forces had delivered a “painful response” to Israeli actions in southern Lebanon and Beirut’s Dahiyeh area, describing it as support for the Lebanese people. It added that the suspension of operations should be understood as conditional, stressing that any further aggression would trigger “much more severe and crushing measures” than before.
