Ahead of the fourth anniversary of the martyrdom of Lt. General Qassem Soleimani and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, Iranian leader Sayyed Ali Khamenei met with the family of martyr Soleimani.

During the meeting, Sayyed Khamenei praised and appreciated the efforts of Brigadier General Esmail Qaani, the Commander of the IRGC Quds Force, emphasizing the need to continue the path of strengthening the resistance front.

Sayyed Khamenei affirmed that the resistance and steadfastness of Gaza for almost three months "can be attributed to the existence of the resistance front."

The Iranian leader highlighted the significant role and service of martyr Soleimani in reviving the resistance front in the region. Martyr Soleimani's daughter, Zainab, also briefed Sayyed Khamenei on steps taken to convey the thoughts of the martyr to the younger generations.

Brigadier General Qaani stated last Friday that resistance groups throughout the region play a pivotal role in determining the outcome of regional affairs. He added that the Resistance in Palestine was the first to initiate operations in its way, IRNA reported.

"Resistance groups gradually built themselves up and have now become the holders of their own decisions and destinies," Qaani said.

He added that Palestinian operations were tailored domestically and meticulously planned for over many years despite enduring the challenges posed by the Israeli regime's oppression.

The assassination

On January 3, 2020, the US carried out a drone strike authorized by former US President Donald Trump targeting a car carrying the commander of the Quds Force of the IRGC, General Qassem Soleimani, and the second-in-command of the Iraqi Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis.

The US aggression oversaw the martyrdom of al-Muhandis, as well. The assassination led to an escalation of tensions between the United States and Iran, which pledged to avenge the martyrs.

Martyr Soleimani was on an official visit to Iraq and was in a car with martyr al-Muhandis at Baghdad's International Airport when he was assassinated by the US shortly after his arrival.

Days after his martyrdom, the anti-terror icon’s body was transferred to Iran and was laid to rest in his hometown of Kerman.

It's worth mentioning that Hezbollah Secretary-General, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, will give a speech speak next Wednesday on the anniversary of the martyrdom of Soleimani and al-Muhandis.
