The statement emphasized that the sinister plans of Zionist and American forces to weaken or eliminate the resistance have repeatedly failed and will once again result in nothing but disgrace and humiliation for the enemies.

Strategic Statement of the IRGC:
In the name of God, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful
"Among the believers are men who have been true to their covenant with God; some have fulfilled their vow, and others await, but they have never changed in the least."
As the anniversary of the martyrdom of Islamic resistance leaders in Lebanon approaches—including Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, Sayyed Hashem Safi al-Din, and senior Hezbollah commanders such as Haj Abdul Monem Karki (Haj Abolfazl), Haj Samir Deeb (Haj Jihad), Haj Ibrahim Jazini (Haj Nabil), and Iranian military advisor Major General Abbas Nilforoushan—who were martyred in a terrorist attack by the Zionist regime in Beirut’s Dahiyeh district, the IRGC extends its condolences and congratulations to the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei, the families of the martyrs, resistance forces, and the people of the region. The statement outlines the following strategic points:
1. Security and Dignity Are the Fruits of Sacrifice and Resistance
The current security and honor of the Islamic Ummah and regional nations are not the result of political compromise or surrender to psychological warfare, but rather the outcome of the sacrifices made by faithful fighters—from confronting ISIS to resisting Zionist occupation. The blood of these martyrs remains a strategic asset for regional stability and Islamic identity.
2. Resistance Is the Only Rational Path Against Arrogance
Historical experience and field realities confirm that active and intelligent resistance is the only effective and rational option for regional states and nations against the expansionism of global arrogance and Zionism. Any retreat or reliance on imposed mechanisms will only embolden the enemy and deepen humiliation.
3. The Culture of Resistance Is Indomitable
The escalation of failed Zionist attacks on Gaza reflects the resilience and invincibility of the resistance front. Resistance is not a dissolvable institution—it is a living, rooted culture embedded in the beliefs of regional nations, growing stronger each day.
4. Martyred Leaders Were Disciples of the Islamic Revolution
Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and Sayyed Hashem Safi al-Din were distinguished students of Imam Khomeini and the Supreme Leader. Through faith, wisdom, and courage, they transformed the resistance into a symbol of Islamic dignity and a strategic force across the region and the world.
5. Firm Leadership of Sheikh Naim Qassem
The IRGC commends the principled stance and strategic role of Sheikh Naim Qassem, the rightful successor to the martyred Hezbollah leaders, and declares full support for his courageous leadership and Hezbollah’s efforts to safeguard Lebanon’s security and continue the path of resistance.
6. Failure of U.S. and Zionist Projects
The chaotic dreams and malicious schemes of Zionist and American forces to dismantle the resistance have repeatedly failed. By divine grace, this time too, their efforts will yield only disgrace. Contrary to the enemy’s wishes, the resistance continues to shine as a stabilizing force in the region.
7. IRGC’s Mission to Support the Resistance
In these critical times, the IRGC remains committed to supporting resistance movements across the region. The continuation of this mission—until the complete eradication of occupation and the liberation of Al-Quds—is considered a divine, national, and irreversible duty.

The martyrdom of resistance leaders marks a pivotal moment in the Islamic awakening and the strengthening of the anti-Zionist front. All regional nations must uphold vigilance, solidarity, and the path of resistance. The future of the region belongs to the will of its people—and that will is firmly rooted in defeating the enemies and securing the ultimate victory of the resistance.
