Qaani warns US miscalculation
Brigadier General Ghaani warned the United States against miscalculating the capabilities of the Resistance Front, saying its strategic depth extends beyond the range of its weapons. Ghaani said, “Those irresponsible US leaders should know that today the entire Resistance is one front with unity across different arenas,” and he urged Washington not to calculate the depth of the front based on weapons range alone.
Ghaani added that the United States would end up fighting “with weapons in the Strait of Hormuz while facing the opening of the Bab el-Mandeb through Resistance,” and he linked the warning to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s role in triggering the US war against Iran. Ghaani said US President Donald Trump gambled on war with Iran after being misled by Netanyahu, and he argued the outcome was the loss of America’s 250-year reputation and defeat in the Strait of Hormuz.
Qaani repeats unity message
Brigadier General Esmail Qaani warned the United States against miscalculating the capabilities of the Resistance Front, stressing that its strategic depth extends beyond the range of its weapons. Qaani said, “Therefore, do not calculate the depth of the front based on weapons range alone; you must also factor in the depth of the Resistance,” and he framed the Resistance Front as a single front with unity across different arenas.
Qaani argued that Washington’s insistence on its position in Hormuz prompted the “smart Resistance Front” to impose the loss of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait on the United States as well. Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei’s message, as quoted in the same reporting, said implementing Iran’s governance over the Strait of Hormuz and eliminating American military bases in regional countries is “an initial jihadi against arrogance in regional dimensions” if aggressions are repeated.
Unity across arenas and dates
Seyed Morteza Pourali, host of the programs of people’s rallies in Tehran’s Martyrs’ Square, emphasized coordinating among resistance activists inside Iran and in regional countries. Pourali said the Eleventh Conference of Defenders in Exile would be an opportunity for exchanging experiences among resistance actors and participants of the people’s rallies, and he described the gathering as a platform for transferring experiences and strengthening intellectual and practical bonds.
Pourali argued that strengthening unity, affection, and harmony within the country and among resistance currents worldwide is a serious necessity, and he said the stronger those bonds, the more effective the confrontation with the enemy can be. IRNA reported that Hujjat al-Islam Seyyed Mohammad Sadeghat said the 13 Aban (November) march would carry a clear message of Iran’s nation standing against global arrogance and support for the Resistance Front, and he called 13 Aban “a turning point in the history of the Islamic Revolution” that recalls events in 1343 (1964), 1357 (1978), and 1358 (1979).
