The commander of the Quds Force in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, Major General Ismail Qaani, addressed the Israelis, stating: "You are lying and do not have the courage to announce your losses, while 'Hezbollah,' the hero, publicly mourns its martyrs." He pointed out that "the Israeli entity, backed by America, has failed to achieve any military accomplishments since the start of the war on Gaza," adding that "the United States should not think that these crimes will go unrecorded, and it will be held accountable at the appropriate time."
Regarding the killing of IRGC advisor Rida Mousavi in Syria, Qaani said: "You kill Rida Mousavi because you have failed to achieve anything on the battlefield in Gaza, and Iran will not be lured into the schemes of the Zionist entity." In his remarks to the Americans, he emphasized that "if you continue your irrational behavior in Iraq, the Iraqi resistance will set aside its considerations and respond to you in a different manner," stressing that "the entire resistance movement in the region makes its decisions independently and does not receive orders from any entity."
