On September 14, 2019, a video was posted to a Twitter account associated with IRGC Quds Force Commander General Qasem Soleimani. The video showed excerpts from a speech by Soleimani in which he said: “We are the nation of martyrdom... Our victories in all fronts were guaranteed by adherence to Imam Hussein’s culture… Today, Ansar Allah in Yemen are following the path of Imam Hussein and his household. Today, the [Iraqi] PMU is also getting inspiration and the power of resistance from this valuable position.” The video was posted following the Yemeni drone attacks on the Abqaiq and Khurais oil fields in Saudi Arabia, and it concluded with an image of the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem being viewed through binoculars.

Qasem Soleimani: We are the nation of martyrdom. We are the nation of Imam Hussein. Ask! We have already overcome difficult events. Since the beginning of the Revolution, our victories in all fronts were guaranteed by adherence to Imam Hussein’s culture, and we have won many victories as a result of this path. This front is founded on the reliance on Imam Hussein, the Prophet’s family, and the Imams and their companions. Today, you can witness it being reborn every day. Yesterday, it had a branch only in Iran. Today, it has branches in many [locations] as a result of this reliance. Today, Ansar Allah in Yemen are following the path of Imam Hussein and his household. Today, the [Iraqi] PMU is also getting inspiration and the power of resistance from this valuable position.
