Iran’s Quds Force commander, Esmail Qaani, has resurfaced after rumours of his death, warning that “more surprises” are ahead in the ongoing conflict.

Reports had earlier claimed Qaani was killed, detained, or even executed, but his latest message to leaders of the “axis of resistance” suggests he is alive and actively involved.

In his statement, Qaani said allied forces had entered the conflict willingly to defend Iran and have already carried out effective operations against their opponents.

He praised unity among allied groups and insisted that their strength would continue to grow, adding that they would intensify actions against what he described as their enemies.

Qaani also expressed confidence that the ideology of Iran’s Islamic Revolution would endure, referencing leadership under Mojtaba Khamenei.

Despite his message, no recent images or official confirmation of his activities have been released, leaving questions about his current status even as tensions in the region remain high.
