IRGC signals continued pursuit of revenge on anniversary of Soleimani killing

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said on January 3 that the “spirit of resistance” inspired by the late Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani remains active and committed to seeking revenge for his killing, as it marked the sixth anniversary of his death.

In a statement released to commemorate the anniversary, the IRGC said that Soleimani’s legacy continues to expand across the Middle East, particularly among younger generations, Caliber.Az reports via Tasnim. 

The IRGC asserted that the killing of Soleimani did not weaken resistance movements aligned with Iran, but instead strengthened them. It claimed that US  and Israeli efforts to curb these groups have failed, accusing US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of attempting unsuccessfully to eliminate Soleimani’s influence through his assassination.

“The spirit of General Soleimani flows within the body of the nations of the region, showing that more Al-Aqsa Storm operations lie ahead in the face of child-killing bullies,” the IRGC said. 

The corps also stated that the core message of the “Islamic resistance for the liberation of al-Quds is now being chanted globally under the hashtag ‘Free Palestine,’ not only in the Islamic world but across Western countries and even in front of the White House.”
