WANA (Sep 04) – The Deputy Commander of Operations for Iran’s Qods Force stated that until the goals of the Islamic Republic of Iran are achieved at the right time and with the necessary surprise, restraint may continue. He emphasized that Iran will deliver a decisive and appropriate response to the assassination of Martyr Haniyeh when the time is right.

 

In an interview, General Chizari, the Deputy Commander of Operations for Iran’s Qods Force, referred to Hezbollah’s extensive attack on Israel (Operation Arbaeen), noting that Hezbollah successfully achieved its objectives during the operation, and further actions may continue. He pointed out that the Zionist regime’s attempts to halt the operation by bombing Hezbollah’s old positions were unsuccessful.

 

Regarding Iran’s response to the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, General Chizari stated, “Iran’s response will undoubtedly be different, and the specifics of this response should not be disclosed. As the Supreme Leader has emphasized, we consider it our duty to avenge the blood of Martyr Haniyeh, who was martyred within the territory of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and we will certainly carry it out.”

 

He further stressed that the quality and nature of Iran’s reaction depend on the conditions and opportunities that allow the Islamic Republic to achieve its objectives against the Zionist regime’s crimes. Until Iran’s goals are realized with the necessary timing and surprise, restraint may be exercised until the appropriate conditions and circumstances arise to deliver a decisive response befitting the martyrdom of Haniyeh.

 

General Chizari also highlighted the criminal actions of Israel in the West Bank, stating that the Zionists had intended to commit such actions in this region from the beginning. He added that the reputation and dignity of the Zionists have been destroyed among the world’s nations due to their atrocities in Gaza. He emphasized that, aside from the puppet states aligned with the Zionist regime and the Americans, the nations of the world have stood against and condemned the crimes of the Zionist regime.

 

He concluded by asserting that the resistance in Gaza remains strong and is emerging in the West Bank as well. The Zionists will not achieve their goals, and the situation is increasingly favorable to the resistance axis.
