IRGC Qods Force Commander Esmail Qaani: France, England, Germany, And All Countries That Defended Israel Against The Iranian Missile Attack Will Be Held Accountable – It Is Not Over

IRGC Qods Force commander Esmail Qaani said that any country that defended Israel against the Iranian missile attack on April 14 would be held accountable, in a May 15, 2024 address that was aired on IRINN TV (Iran). He said that France, Germany, and England should not think that this was over the night they mobilized their airplanes. Qaani warned regional leaders to consider whether the U.S. would protect them any better than the U.S. protected Israel against Iran. Esmail Qaani spoke at a memorial for IRGC General Mohammad Hadi Haji Rahimi, who was killed in the April 1 attack on the Iranian embassy compound in Damascus.

Esmail Qaani: "Some leaders who rely on America, in the region and elsewhere, had better think: Even if America wanted to protect them, would it defend them any better than it is defending the Zionist regime? That is impossible. So what happened? America defended [Israel], and it even brought NATO over.

"All the criminals who participated [in defending Israel against the Iranian missile attack] – everything they did will be added to their account. France, Germany, and England should not think that it was over when they brought their airplanes that night. Indeed, the story is over, but the accounts are still open."
