Iran says resistance growing despite enemy’s plots

Iran has said the resistance school of thought has been growing in recent months in defiance of attempts by the enemies to weaken and upend it.

Speaking at a ceremony to honour Iran’s martyred anti-terror commander General Qassem Soleimani, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi  said the enemies do not recognize the fact that the blood of martyrs is a weapon in the hands of the resistance.

He stressed that the resistance school of thought cannot be eliminated by military strikes and bombings.

Araghchi continued that despite all the ups and downs, blows and blood, the resistance school of thought has been developing. He said that the enemies should not consider that the blows they have inflicted on the resistance front over past few months will damage the cause or weaken it. But, he added said,  actually this school of thought will become stronger.

The Iranian foreign minister praised martyred General Soleimani for giving a practical aspect to the resistance and turning it into a movement that maintains a strong presence in the region and fights against Israel and the Western hegemony.

On January 3, 2020, General Soleimani, commander of the Quds Force of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), was assassinated in a US drone strike authorized by then-US President Donald Trump near Baghdad International Airport.

General Soleimani was highly revered across West Asia because of his key role in fighting the Daesh Takfiri terrorist group in Iraq and Syria.
