Quds Force chief says Hamas will rebuild soon, touts more ‘winning cards’

Esmail Qaani, commander of the IRGC’s Quds Force, told the state TV on Monday that Hamas would soon rebuild, while warning the United States and Israel that Iran-aligned groups still had unrevealed capabilities across the region.

He said Hezbollah’s power in Lebanon had not been fully revealed, adding: “No one can stand against Hezbollah in Lebanon, and everything you have seen from Hezbollah in Lebanon is only the tip of the iceberg.”

Qaani also described the Bab al-Mandab Strait as one of the strategic assets of the so-called “Resistance Front.”

“Bab al-Mandab is one of the winning cards of the Resistance Front, and if necessary, other cards will also be revealed,” he said.

Addressing the United States and Israel, Qaani warned: “Do not get involved with the Resistance Front. Wherever you confronted the resistance, you were left with no dignity.”
