The commander of the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) asserts that the regional Axis of Resistance today exhibits more strength and resilience than any other time throughout its history.
In a post on X on Saturday, Brigadier General Esmail Qa'ani, wrote, "The Axis of Resistance is unified and cohesive, and its unity and solidarity are unparalleled."
"The Israeli regime believes that by exerting pressure on the resistance, and through the martyrdom of its members and innocent and defenseless civilians, it can bring about their defeat, weakening, or surrender," he added. "However, the culture of resistance is such that the more pressure it endures, the stronger and more resilient it becomes," the commander added.

"Today, the resistance is stronger and more cohesive than at any other time," he concluded.
The remarks came after consecutive days of Israeli aggression launched against various parts of Lebanon amid the regime's continued violations of a 2024 ceasefire agreement. The aggression has claimed the lives of hundreds of people, including women and children.
Reacting to the massacres, Secretary-General of Lebanon's Hezbollah resistance movement, Sheikh Naim Qassem said the bloodletting was aimed at "masking" the repeated failures that the regime had experienced in the face of the resistance.

Sheikh Qassem vowed that "the resistance will continue until the very last breath," and that the sacrifices made so far will "only deepen our determination to liberate our land and preserve our dignity."
The Islamic Republic has also vowed to respond resolutely to continuation of the regime's aggression towards Lebanon.
Tehran has defined cessation of the atrocities as a key element of a 10-point proposal it has presented towards realization of a definitive halt to the United States' and the Israeli regime's unprovoked escalation targeting the region.
