Guards chief says Israel must leave Lebanon or 'flee in defeat'

Jun 25, 2026, 11:58 GMT+1

Iran’s Quds Force commander Esmail Qaani said on Thursday that Israel must leave Lebanon or face a forced withdrawal in defeat.

“You must leave all of Lebanon,” Qaani said in remarks carried by state media. “This land is a field of steadfastness and resistance, not a playground for occupiers.”

“If you do not withdraw of your own accord today, tomorrow you will be forced to flee in humiliation and defeat,” he said.
