Commander of the Quds Force: Israeli and United States agents carried out the terrorist attack near Soleimani’s shrine

The commander of the Revolutionary Guards' Quds Force, General Ismail Qaani, confirmed that agents of Israel and the United States were the ones who carried out the terrorist attack near the shrine of General Qasem Soleimani in the city of Kerman.

Qaani said in a speech during the ceremony commemorating Hajj Qassem Soleimani: “This year, as we commemorate the martyrdom of Hajj Qassem, Palestinian fighters carried out the Al-Aqsa Flood operation in a coordinated action.”

He continued: "We say to the enemies of the resistance and the Israeli entity, after this widespread propaganda, it has become clear how long you will withstand the resistance. Palestine attacked you once, but all the pillars of your government collapsed."

He added: "You claimed to be the largest army in the Middle East, but one resistance movement defeated you, and that is why America stood behind you with all its might. God willing, the day will come when America will be forced to pay the consequences of its support for Israel more than today."

He stressed, "When we look at these events, we understand why the leader of the revolution said that the martyr Soleimani filled the hands of the resistance. Today, there is no place in Gaza for tanks to enter. This land that is floundering under bombardment made you mobilize all your forces 89 days ago, but Gaza stood in the face of all that." "I was very active in the war."

He pointed out that "the enemy's losses are increasing day after day, and the resistance will endure as long as necessary, and the one who will leave the field defeated is Israel ."

He added: "We are united to learn the path of the martyr Soleimani well, and we congratulate and offer condolences to the families of the martyrs of the Kerman terrorist incident , which was carried out by agents of the Zionists and America. Those like the martyr Al-Arouri are those who can walk on this path of light, and his martyrdom and that of Mr. Radhi shows the enemy's inability."
