IRGC Quds Force commander: Yemen’s resistance forced US aircraft carrier into humiliating retreat

The commander of the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has expressed solidarity and appreciation to the Islamic Resistance of Yemen, hailing its heroic role in confronting criminal America and the child-killing Israeli regime while defending Islamic values and the oppressed people of Gaza.

In the message, released on Monday, Brigadier General Esmail Qa’ani said that Yemen’s timely and strategic actions have once again strengthened the powerful Islamic Resistance Front across the West Asia region, and forced the US aircraft carrier Gerald Ford into humiliating retreat.

“By God’s grace, once again, another victory has emerged from the heroic Yemen in the continuation of the epic creation of the powerful Islamic Resistance Front in the region to confront the criminal America and the child-killing Zionist regime and to defend the nation and Islamic values,” the Quds Force commander stated.

General Qa’ani directly attributed the humiliating withdrawal of the heavily equipped US aircraft carrier USS Gerald Ford to the deterrent power of Yemen’s resistance.

“Those who ask about the fate of the equipped aircraft carrier Gerald Ford of the United States, which for more than two weeks hesitantly circled the boundary between Yanbu and Jeddah and finally made an excuse to return with various stories, it must be said that the secret of this wandering and turning back should be searched in the sky-high mountains and the blessed land of Yemen,” he stated.

The senior IRGC commander extended heartfelt thanks to the wise leadership, brave commanders, and sincere warriors of the heroic Yemeni people, praising their strategic vision and unwavering commitment against all enemies of the Islamic world.

“I would like to thank the wise leadership, the brave commanders, and the sincere warriors of the heroic people of Yemen, and I appreciate their timely actions and pride in the beauty of the strategic thinking of the religious leaders of this luminous land against all the enemies of the Islamic world,” General Qa’ani said.

He highlighted that Yemen’s continued all-around support for the Islamic Ummah, particularly the oppressed people of Gaza, reflects a profound understanding of regional developments and paves the way for Yemen’s full liberation from the oppressive siege imposed by the enemies.

“This timely presence and your continued all-round support for the Islamic Ummah, especially the oppressed people of Gaza, demonstrates the depth of your correct recognition of the developments in the region and is a prelude to the complete liberation of heroic Yemen from the oppressive siege,” the message read.

Reaffirming Iran’s steadfast position, General Qa’ani concluded by underlining the Islamic Republic’s divine duty to stand firmly alongside all fronts of resistance.

“The Islamic Republic, in fulfilling its divine duty, will continue to stand firm and resist to achieve its great goals, including removing the shadow of war in the entire region, and will support and back its friends and fighters sincerely on all fronts of resistance,” he stated.

With God’s help and success, General Qa’ani underscores the unbreakable bond between Iran and the Yemeni Islamic Resistance, a partnership that continues to reshape the balance of power in favor of the Axis of Resistance and against US-Zionist aggression.
