Why it matters: Qalibaf reaffirmed Iran’s unwavering stance on the Palestinian cause and its opposition to the Israeli regime. The remarks came as the nation marked the anniversary of Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani's martyrdom, a figure regarded as a hero of the Axis of Resistance.
What he said:
General Soleimani spent over four decades fighting enemies, including invading forces, occupiers, and terrorist groups.
His presence brought peace and safety to women and children in conflict zones.
Qalibaf vowed that Martyr Soleimani’s mission would persist “until the liberation of Al-Quds and the eradication of the Zionist regime’s malevolence.”
The big picture: Martyr Soleimani remains central to the narrative of resistance throughout the region.
