The Commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' Quds Force, Brigadier General Esmail Ghaani, sent a letter to Hezbollah's newly appointed Secretary-General, Sheikh Naim Qassem, on Thursday, expressing gratitude for Sheikh Qassem's appointment to lead the organization during what he described as a "historical and decisive phase."
Iran Press/Iran news: In his letter, General Ghaani addressed Sheikh Qassem, saying, "You are a seasoned and honorable fighter, widely respected among the noble fighters in the resistance." He emphasized Iran's unwavering support, stating, "The Quds Force in the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps will remain alongside Hezbollah until the malignant Zionist tree is uprooted and Palestine, along with holy al-Quds, is liberated."
General Ghaani extended his greetings to the memory of "the master of the martyrs of the Ummah," the martyred Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, Sayyed Hashem Safieddine, and all the leaders, officials, and martyred fighters within Hezbollah. He prayed that this resistance path would continue with strength and resolve under Sheikh Qassem's leadership.
"I pray to Almighty God that this enlightened and Jihadi path of the martyrs will continue under your leadership with greater strength and resolve," he said.
Sheikh Qassem had stated that his work plan is "a continuation of the work program of the martyred Sayyed Nasrallah in all fields, whether political, military, social, or cultural," stressing his commitment to pursuing the war plan laid out by the late secretary-general in Operation People of Might. 204
