Israeli Forces
Hossein Salami, the commander-in-chief of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), has issued a bold warning that Israeli forces will eventually be “buried” in Syria.
Speaking with defiance, Salami emphasized that Iran’s involvement in Syria is not aimed at territorial expansion but rather focused on defending the Muslim populations in the region.
His statement highlights the growing tensions between Iran and Israel as the latter’s influence and military presence continue to expand in Syria.
Salami specifically condemned Israel’s actions in Syrian territories, particularly in the areas surrounding Damascus and Quneitra.
He described the increasing Israeli presence in these regions as “unbearable” for the Middle East, portraying it as an affront to the sovereignty of the Arab states and a destabilizing force in the region.
According to Salami, Israel’s growing influence in Syria is a direct threat to the broader security and peace of the region.
Salami also reiterated the promise made by Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who recently vowed that Syrian youth would eventually rise to liberate the occupied territories.
This statement is part of a larger narrative promoted by Iranian leadership, which frames the conflict in Syria as part of a larger, ideological struggle against Israeli occupation and influence in the Middle East.
The IRGC commander warned Israel that it would pay a “heavy price” for its actions in Syria, suggesting that this conflict is not one that can be resolved quickly.
Instead, Salami portrayed the confrontation as a long-term struggle that will require patience, endurance, and unwavering faith.
He emphasized that the Iranian leadership and its allies in the region are prepared to face the challenges ahead, with a focus on ultimate victory in the broader regional conflict.
This rhetoric underlines the ongoing proxy war between Iran and Israel, which has intensified in recent years amidst the broader Syrian civil war and regional power struggles.
