General Qaani Praises Ansarallah: Yemen’s Entry Into War Exposes U.S. Retreat
IRGC Quds Force commander hails Yemen’s decisive role against U.S. and Israeli forces, warning that a unified resistance front is reshaping the balance of power.
Iran, PUREWILAYAH.COM — Major General Esmail Qaani, commander of the IRGC Quds Force, has praised Yemen’s Ansarallah movement for its continued support of the Islamic Ummah and its decisive role in confronting U.S. and Israeli aggression across the region.
In a message addressed to the Yemeni resistance, Qaani described Yemen’s actions as “another golden chapter and a sharp sword” emerging at the right moment in defense of Islamic values and oppressed nations, particularly the people of Gaza.
Yemen’s Role Exposes U.S. Retreat
Qaani pointed to the movements of the U.S. aircraft carrier Gerald Ford, which he said spent more than two weeks moving uncertainly between Yanbu and Jeddah before ultimately withdrawing.
He stated that this hesitation and retreat must be understood in the context of Yemen’s growing military presence and strategic pressure.
“The secret behind this hesitation and retreat lies in the towering mountains and blessed land of Yemen,” Qaani said.
Qaani Declares Emergence of a New Regional Order
In a separate statement issued earlier, Major General Esmail Qaani emphasized that coordinated operations by resistance forces—from Lebanon to Yemen—have dismantled what he described as Israeli illusions of expanding a regional security belt.
Referring to remarks by Benjamin Netanyahu, Qaani said these ambitions have been exposed by “the intelligent and courageous fire” of Hizbullah in the north and Ansarullah in the south.
“The dream of the martyred commanders of the resistance has been realized: the war room of the resistance front is one,” he stated.
He concluded with a direct warning:
“Get used to the new regional order.”
Continued Support for Gaza and Resistance Front
In that same context, Qaani reaffirmed continued support for the Islamic Ummah, particularly the oppressed people of Gaza, describing ongoing resistance actions as a reflection of strategic awareness across the region.
He added that such developments could pave the way for lifting the blockade on Yemen and achieving full liberation.
The message further emphasized that the Islamic Republic remains committed to its “divine duty,” pledging continued support for resistance forces across all fronts.
Account Suspension Highlights Narrative War
Separately, reports indicated that the social media platform X moved quickly to suspend Qaani’s account shortly after he published his message.
The move is widely seen as an attempt to contain the growing influence of resistance narratives, as the confrontation increasingly expands into the domain of information and perception warfare. (PW)
