Resistance groups hail Iran’s missile attack against Israeli regime

Following the Islamic Republic’s retaliatory missile operation against Israel in response to the recent crimes of the Zionist regime, Resistance groups have officially expressed support for Tehran.

The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas said, "We bless the Iranian missile launches that came in response to the Zionist aggression against the Palestinian and Lebanese peoples.

"We affirm that this honorable Iranian response is a strong message to the Zionist enemy and its fascist government, aimed at deterring them and curbing their terrorism. Their crimes, arrogance, and violations of international laws and humanitarian norms have exceeded all limits."

“We express our pride in our brothers in the Islamic Republic of Iran and our appreciation for their stance against the unchecked Zionist arrogance and their alignment with the values of justice, the Palestinian people's struggle, the Lebanese people, as well as the supreme interests of the Islamic Nation, which are represented in ending the occupation and deterring the fascist Zionist enemy,” the statement noted.

In the end, the statement called on all countries, peoples, parties, and all forces of Arab and Islamic nations to stand united and confront the zionist crimes and the expansionist Zionist project, which targets everyone.

“We urge them to work by all means to liberate our land and sanctities from the filth of the fascist occupation.”

The Iraqi Resistance Coordination Committee also issued a statement.

“In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. If the Americans intervene in any hostile action against the Islamic Republic or if the Zionist enemy uses Iraqi airspace to carry out any bombing operations on its territory, then all American bases and interests in Iraq and the region will be our target, (and there will be no escape).

The Political Bureau of Yemen’s Ansarullah resistance movement released a congratulatory statement concerning the “qualitative operation,” hailing it for “achieving direct and painful hits on sensitive military and security sites across the map of the occupied Palestinian territories.”

“The Iranian missile attacks that forced millions of Zionists to flee to shelters constituted a real deterrent to the entity,” the statement added.

“The blessed operation sent a clear and strong message to the American enemy, the main partner in all the crimes and massacres of the Zionist enemy over the course of a whole year.”

The bureau lauded the Islamic Republic as “a real supporter of the Palestinian cause after many Arab and Islamic regimes abandoned it,” and hailed the country for backing “the resistance and the oppressed.”

Yemen’s Ansarullah spokesman Mohammed Abdul Salam said, “Deterring and confronting the Zionist enemy entity is the only way to curb and prevent it from continuing its brutal crimes against the Palestinian and Lebanese people and in the region.”

“We bless the Iranian operation that struck military targets of the enemy inside occupied Palestine, and we salute the Islamic Republic for its support of Palestine and its resistance against American hegemony in the region.”

Kataeb Hezbollah in the Islamic Resistance in Iraq also congratulated “the fighters of the Axis of Resistance and the free people of the world on the operation of revenge for the Islamic Republic, in response to the treacherous Zionist-American assassinations of Martyr Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, the great martyr Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, and the Iranian military advisor General Abbas Nilforoushan in Beirut.”

“This operation reflects the ethics of warriors and the commitment to the rules of engagement by targeting the Zionist enemy's military and security bases without harming civilian buildings,” Kataeb Hezbollah said in a statement.

“This reminds us of the brutality of the US-backed entity in committing massacres against civilians and its treacherous operations targeting civilian infrastructure in residential areas,” it added.

“This blessed operation was executed while the Zionists, their American supporters, and Western countries were at the highest levels of readiness to intercept the Iranian missiles, yet they reached their targets, reducing them to rubble,” it stated.

Meanwhile, Al-Nujaba Movement, Islamic Resistance in Iraq also congratulated Iran for striking Israel and  “making what they boastfully call the ‘Iron Dome’ a laughingstock before the public.”

“Today, the Islamic resistance has proven its superiority and its ability to reach any place it desires at any time of its choosing. The strength of the Islamic Republic lies in its ability to choose the right time to respond, making it effective and impactful,” Al-Nujaba Movement said in a statement.

The statement added that Israel and its backer, the US, should know that this response is only the first drop, and the strikes of the resistance are coming to prove that they are delusional, misled by the betrayal of the normalizing Arabs.

“It saddens us that Iraq's oil goes at a subsidized price to the traitor of Jordan, who has opened its airports to be an alternative to Ben-Gurion Airport and its lands to be an alternative route to the Red Sea, and has launched his air defenses to intercept the Haiderite missiles targeting the entity,” the statement said.

“But every moment has its reckoning. Did you think that the matter was over and that your crimes against Palestine and Lebanon would pass without consequence?” Al-Nujaba Movement asked.

“Let the Americans bear in mind that any aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran will be met with a severe response, and their bases will turn into graves for their soldiers, and they will not have a foothold on the land of Iraq, the land of dignity and courage,” it added.

“If this is the beginning of the resistance's response to the Zionists, we assure you that this is the end [for you], Allah willing. Our missiles and drones will reach wherever we desire, whether it be their bases in Iraq or their interests in the region, or those who stand with them and follow their lead,” it stated.
