Brigadier General Esmail Qaani, the commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Quds Force, has announced the establishment of a formidable new Axis of Resistance security belt stretching from the Strait of Hormuz to Bab el-Mandeb and from the Persian Gulf to the Red Sea.
General Qaani praised the heroic and timely operations by Yemen, highlighting the growing wisdom, coordination, and strength of the Resistance Front in confronting Israeli and American provocations.
“From the Strait of Hormuz to Bab el-Mandeb and from the Persian Gulf to the Red Sea, a new security belt of the Resistance will be established,” the Quds Force commander said in a statement issued on Monday.
“The timely and powerful action by heroic Yemen is a sign of the wisdom of the Resistance Front. If necessary, others will also join,” he stated.
“The mischief of the Zionist regime and America in this region will be met with the reaction of the united Resistance Front,” he stressed.
“Borderless fighters are watching over your chokepoints. If you continue your aggression, they will seize you by the throat.” General Qaani said.
The IRGC commander’s remarks come as the Axis of Resistance displays unprecedented unity and resolve against the Zionist regime’s savage aggressions on Gaza, Lebanon, and the Islamic Republic of Iran. The regime is fully enabled and supported by the United States.
General Qaani’s warning is clear that any new Israeli or American aggression in the strategic waterways of West Asia will trigger a swift, coordinated, and devastating response from resistance forces across multiple fronts.
Yemen’s Ansarullah has already demonstrated its power to impose crippling costs on Israeli-linked shipping in the Red Sea and Bab el-Mandeb.
On Monday morning, Yemeni armed forces launched a ballistic missile strike targeting the occupied Palestinian territories, forcing the Israeli regime to completely halt all flights at Ben Gurion International Airport while activating air raid sirens across Tel Aviv and central and southern occupied Palestine.
According to the Israeli occupation army, a missile was fired from Yemen toward central parts of the occupied territories.
Israeli aviation authorities were forced to suspend all arrivals and departures at Ben Gurion as a direct result of the Yemeni missile launch and ensuing security alert, causing major disruptions to air traffic and effectively isolating the occupying regime from the skies.
Yemen’s Ansarullah resistance movement has repeatedly demonstrated its advanced capabilities, with military spokesman Yahya Saree affirming in similar operations that such strikes are part of the ongoing “holy jihad” in support of the oppressed people of Palestine, Lebanon, and Iran against US-Israeli aggression.
