News - Yemen: The Yemeni ambassador to Iran, Ebrahim Al-Deilami, confirmed that the resistance front has prepared its plans and equipment for a comprehensive attack on the oppressive Zionist entity.

"The events witnessed in recent days, such as the increased tension in Hodeidah, the assassination of martyr Fouad Shukr in the southern suburbs of Beirut, the assassination of leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, and the attack on Iraq, have moved the battle to another level," he said.

"After these recent events, we must understand that we are in a full-scale war, and we will deal with it on this basis," he added.

Al-Deilami explained that the resistance axis is ready for these new field developments. "Now is the time to consolidate our achievements so that we can respond to these crimes."

In a fiery speech broadcast at the funeral of Shukr on Thursday, Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah said Israel had “crossed a red line” and must brace for a stern response from the resistance.

Sayyed Nasrallah vowed during his hour-long address that Hezbollah would avenge the blood of Shukr with an “inevitable retaliation” against the Israeli regime and that Tel Aviv must expect “rage and revenge on all the fronts supporting Gaza.”

At least 39,480 Palestinians, mostly women and children, have been killed and 91,128 people wounded in Israel’s genocidal war against the besieged Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023.

Israel’s assassination of Shukr comes amid heightened tensions following the Israeli targeted killing of Palestinian resistance movement Hamas’s Political Bureau Chief Ismail Haniyeh in the Iranian capital of Tehran.

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has warned the regime of a “harsh response” for the assassination, saying it is the Islamic Republic’s duty to avenge the blood of the resistance leader.
