Resistance vow after Khamenei message
Iran’s IRGC Quds Force commander Brigadier General Esmaeil Qa’ani vowed that the Resistance Front will continue the “bright and honourable path of resistance” under the leadership of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei.
Dawn said Qa’ani’s statement came in response to a message issued by Khamenei a day earlier, in which he warned US President Donald Trump of “unforgettable lessons” from the Iranian nation and Resistance Front.
Mehr News Agency reported that TEHRAN, Jul. 19 (MNA) featured Qa’ani insisting the Leader of the Islamic Revolution has insisted the continuation of the proud path of resistance.
The Mehr report quoted Qa’ani saying, “During the leadership of Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei, may God protect him, we will continue stepping on the bright and proud path of resistance that has been approved by His Excellency time and again.”
Faithfulness to covenant
Dawn reported that Qa’ani expressed gratitude for the supreme leader’s support for the Resistance Front and reiterated loyalty to the covenant made with the late supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. In the same Dawn account, Qa’ani’s statement included the line, “We emphasise our continued faithfulness to the covenant we made with the martyred Imam of the Ummah,” the statement read.
PressTV said Qa’ani reaffirmed the resistance front’s commitment to continue the “bright and honorable path of resistance” under the leadership of Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei. PressTV also quoted Qa’ani declaring, “We declare that we will continue the bright and honorable path of resistance, a path that has repeatedly received the approval of the Leader, under the leadership of Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei.”
US war framing and leadership shift
PressTV framed Qa’ani’s pledge as coming amid the ongoing US-Israeli war of aggression against Iran, which it said began on February 28 and led to the martyrdom of the late Leader, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, on the first day of the war. PressTV said the new Leader, Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei, has since taken the helm, guiding the nation through “a period of intense military confrontation and diplomatic pressure.”
وكالة سبأ (Saba) reported that Brigadier General Esmail Qaani affirmed on Sunday that the leaders and fighters of the resistance fronts will continue what it described as the “bright and honorable path of resistance” under the leadership of Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei. Saba said Qaani stated in a post on the “X” platform that the leaders and fighters of the resistance fronts appreciate the support of the Supreme Leader of the Revolution for the resistance front, emphasizing continued commitment to the pledge they made to the martyred Imam of the nation, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
