Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Quds Force commander Esmail Qaani has applauded the “resistance front” of Tehran’s regional allies for uniting against US and Israeli aggression in the current conflict, Iranian media reports.
These remarks form Qaani’s first statement since Israel’s killing of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on 28 February, which marked the start of the current US-Israel war on Iran.
