Following the collapse of high-stakes talks in Pakistan, tensions have sharply escalated as Iran and its regional allies issue a united warning to Israel. Esmail Qa’ani, commander of the Quds Force under the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, declared that the “Axis of Resistance” remains stronger than ever and will not back down despite Israeli pressure. Echoing this stance, Sheikh Naim Qassem warned of continued retaliation, signalling that proxy groups across the region remain fully mobilised. This comes even as Benjamin Netanyahu claimed “victory,” asserting that Israel has weakened Iran’s nuclear and missile capabilities.
