Commander of the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Major General Qasem Soleimani said on Thursday that Daesh and its ruling will be annihilated soon.
“In less than three months, we will declare the end of Daesh and its ruling in this planet and we will celebrate this victory in Iran and the entire region,” said Major General Soleimani.
“We will deal our blows decisively and incessantly to the body of the cancerous tumor created by the US and Israel,” he added while addressing a ceremony to mark martyrdom of a defender of holy shrine in the city of Shalman, near Langroud in northern Province of Gilan.
The Iranian youth are voluntarily and enthusiastically embracing martyrdom in Syria to defend its holy sites, said the Quds Force commander.
One of the reasons why Iran has embarked on helping the Syrian and Iraqi nations is that the problem of Daesh cannot be solved through diplomacy in the two countries, he said.
“While Daesh claims that killing Shiites is imperative, there is no option but Jihad (holy war),” commander Soleimani stressed adding, “The enemy is out to dry up Islam and destroy Muslims’ independence and occupy Islamic states.”
“Today, confidence in Iran and its strength is unprecedented and other nations and governments highly trust in Iran because it has succeeded to save various nations and no other country can compete with Iran to this end.”
The commander added many believed that “the war against Daesh would change into a war between Shiite and Sunni Muslims while today we are witnessing that the bloods of Shiite young men are being shed to defend the honor of Sunni people.
This is an undeniable truth that if the young Shiiites from Iran and Afghanistan had not rushed to defend defenseless people in Aleppo in Syria, they could have been slaughtered by Daesh.”
“Today the existing unity, solidarity and friendship between Shiite and Sunni Muslims are more than ever,” commander Soleimani stressed.
