‘Hezbollah limitless’: Fmr. IRGC chief says resistance front on verge of ‘great victory’

Major General Mohsen Rezaei, former chief commander of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) says Iran and the resistance front are “on the verge of a great victory” that will result in the withdrawal of the United States and its allies from the West Asia region.

Rezaei, who currently serves as secretary of Iran’s Expediency Council, made the remarks at a news conference in Lorestan on the occasion of Sacred Defense Week on Sunday.

He said Iran has entered a new phase in which it should use the experience of the Sacred Defense against the ex-Iraqi regime's eight-year war, noting that, “This victory will be very important and great because West Asia will be liberated from the clutches of” Western powers."

The former Iranian commander further said Iran has never wanted a war, but when its enemies assassinate the country’s guest in the capital Tehran, the Islamic Republic should definitely respond.

Rezaei also noted that, “In recent years, the enemies imposed economic sanctions against Iran and faced resistance from the people, so now they want to use military means and force the country into a war.”

US, Israel will never achieve ‘vicious goals’ by killing resistance figures: Iran

The spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry says the United States, Israel and their allies will not achieve their “vicious goals” despite the assassination of resistance figures.

He also stated that the US and Israel are seeking to drag Iran into a regional war by targeting Lebanon but the Islamic Republic and the resistance front “will not allow the Israeli prime minister to enter wherever he wants.”

Separately on Sunday, Rezaei said in a post on his account on X that the Lebanese Resistance movement Hezbollah has an almost inexhaustible manpower.

He made the remarks after Hezbollah targeted the Rafael weapons manufacturing facility in Haifa in an “initial response” to Israel’s recent mass terrorist attack in Lebanon earlier in the day.

Rezaei referred to the recent conflicts between the Israeli regime and Hezbollah, noting that the occupying regime “spent its 20-year intelligence and influence efforts on Hezbollah in a few days.”

“Hezbollah is a man of innovation, creativity and flexibility and the depth of its manpower will not be exhausted for the next hundred years,” he said.

Hezbollah hits Rafael arms facility in ‘initial response’ to Israel’s terror attack

The Hezbollah resistance movement has targeted the Rafael weapons manufacturing facility in Haifa in an “initial response” to Israel’s recent mass terrorist attack in Lebanon.

On Sunday, Hezbollah said that it had bombed the military industry complexes of the Rafael company, located in the Zevulun area north of Haifa, with dozens of Fadi 1, Fadi 2, and Katyusha rockets.

The group noted that its operation was a show of support for the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and their resistance, adding that it was also an “initial response to the brutal massacre committed by the Israeli enemy in various Lebanese regions” by the explosion of telecommunication devices which killed 42 people and wounded almost 3,500 others.

Hezbollah has vowed to retaliate against the occupying regime, which is also waging a genocidal war on the besieged Gaza Strip.
