Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Major General Hossein Salami hailed Hezbollah for inflicting a humiliating defeat on Israel, saying that the Tel Aviv regime reached none of its goals in the war on Lebanon.

According to The Iran Project, In a message sent to Hezbollah Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassem on Thursday, Major General Salami congratulated Lebanon and the resistance movement on achieving victory and successfully imposing a ceasefire on Israel.

A truce deal took effect between Israel and Hezbollah on Wednesday following more than 14 months of fighting.

“The ceasefire on the Lebanese front is a strategic and humiliating defeat for the Zionist regime, which did not even come close to achieving any of its evil goals and ambitions in the war against Hezbollah,” the IRGC commander said.

The truce, he added, “could even mark the beginning of a ceasefire to end the war on Gaza.”

Salami also noted that Israel's acceptance of the ceasefire, as it was under the barrage of Hezbollah missiles targeting the regime's bases and strategic sites, had lessons for Tel Aviv and its supporters.

The usurping entity is on the decline and the crimes that it is committing in Gaza and Lebanon will strengthen the resistance, he emphasized.
