IRGC Commander Announces Continued Support Channels for Resistance Beyond Syria

Major General Hossein Salami, Commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, emphasized on Thursday that channels to back the Resistance Front remain operational and are not confined to Syria. He highlighted that IRGC personnel were the last to depart the country after the collapse of the government led by then-President Bashar Al-Assad.

In a recent address to a group of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) commanders, Major General Hossein Salami praised former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad for his foreign policy strategies and his alliance with the Resistance Front.

According to a report by Mehr News Agency, Major General Salami stated that Syria has maintained a prominent position among Arab nations in opposing Zionism. He highlighted that Syria remains the sole country that has consistently rejected normalization plans, continually engaged in confrontation, defense, and resistance against both the United States and the Israeli regime.

“Following the successful dismantling of ISIL’s control, we made the decision to retract our non-essential forces from Syria,” he stated.

The IRGC commander elaborated, stating, “During the last 13 years, efforts have been made to render Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Palestinian movement significantly self-reliant.”

Syria remains the sole nation to abstain from normalizing relations with Israel, positioning itself as a haven for various resistance and liberation movements.

Salami addressed the final days of President Assad’s administration, expressing criticism towards the Syrian military for what he perceives as a lack of effort in defending the nation.

“The deployment of the entire Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and Basij forces could not be facilitated in a situation where the army remained a passive observer.”

The commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) revealed that Iranian intelligence had issued warnings to the Syrian government concerning the escalating activities of armed opposition factions.

Intelligence officers from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps successfully identified the key points of an attack through advanced intelligence methods. This crucial information was communicated to both political and military leadership in Syria. However, due to a lack of genuine intent to embrace change, engage in conflict, and mount effective resistance, the consequences unfolded as they did, according to sources familiar with the matter.

In a statement, he confirmed that channels for aiding the Resistance Front remain accessible and are not restricted to Syria alone.
