Tehran 03 January_Secretary General of the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah has said that resistance forces across the world bear responsibility of punishing those behind the assassination of Major General Qassem Soleimani.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club(YJC)-Meting out the just punishment to these criminal assassins, which are the worst criminals of the world, will be the responsibility and task of all resistance fighters worldwide," the Hezbollah chief said in a statement on Friday.
Nasrallah added that his group will continue the path of the assassinated commander and that Washington will fail in achieving its goals with these "big crimes".
"We who stayed by his side will follow in his footsteps and strive day and night to accomplish his goals," Nasrallah said
"We will carry a flag on all battlefields and all fronts and we will step up the victories of the 'axis of resistance' with the blessing of his pure blood," he added.
The "resistance axis" is used to refer to an emerging front in the Middle East which includes Iran, Syria and other regional countries and forces such as Hezbollah, which are opposed to the US and Israeli hegemony over the region.
Nassrallah's remarks came after the IRGC confirmed earlier on Friday that Major General Soleimani, the commander of the Quds Force of the IRGC, had been assassinated in US airstrikes in Baghdad.
The attack also led to the death of Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, the second-in-command of Iraq's Popular Mobilization Units (PMU).
