The Commander-in-Chief of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, Major General Hossein Salami, announced that "Operation Promise of Truth is evidence of the strength of Muslims, and we will act if necessary." Salami pointed out that "it is not decided for us to sit idly by and support the resistance front only; if necessary, we will draw our swords ourselves and enter the fields of war. Because the dignity of Muslims is more important than anything else," adding, "the Zionists are being shot at from everywhere, and this is the best symbol of unity among Muslims." He continued, "The resistance is growing, and the Zionists are currently being bombarded by the resistance in Palestine, Iraq, Yemen, and Lebanon."
