Communique: Saraya Al-Quds spokesman Abu Hamza:

We affirm our full solidarity with the Islamic Republic of Iran—its leadership, people, army, and guards—in the face of the treacherous zionist-American aggression. This targeting is a full-fledged, described crime according to the law of the jungle led by war criminals Trump and Netanyahu; it is an attack on every living entity that pulses with hatred for colonialism and guardianship and rejects submission to the will of arrogance.

We bless the strong and bold response from the Islamic Republic of Iran to this barbaric aggression, which desperately aims to subjugate it and deter it from its legitimate ambitions, and constitutes an advanced step for the zionist-American guardianship project to redraw maps and reshape the region to ensure the zionist entity is enabled to impose its influence. We affirm that the enemy, which failed to break the will of the resistance in Gaza, Yemen, and Lebanon, will once again collide with the steadfastness, resilience, and solidity of Iran and its free mujahid people.

The declared dreams of the American-zionist colonial project in the region will not stop at the borders of Iran in its capacity as the primary supporter of the resistance. What is required of the Arab and Islamic nations is unity of ranks in the face of these aggressive expansionist schemes, and to stand by their responsibilities toward the shared fateful issues of the nation.

We trust in the capability of the Islamic Republic, its valiant armed forces, and the courageous Revolutionary Guard, and in their ability to deter and curb the aggression and inflict defeat upon its forces.
