Fragmentation in the Axis of Resistance
led to Soleimani’s deathBy Elijah J

January 09, 2020 "Information
Clearing House" - It was
not the US decision to fire missiles against the
IRGC commander Brigadier General Qassem Soleimani
that killed the Iranian officer and his companions
in Baghdad. Yes, of course, the order that was given
to launch missiles from the two drones (which
destroyed the two cars carrying Sardar Soleimani and
his companion the Iraqi commander in al-Hashd al-Shaabi
Jamal Jaafar Al-Tamimi aka Abu Mahdi al-Muhandes and
burned their bodies in the vehicle) came from US
command and control. However, the reason President
Donald Trump made this decision derives from the
weakness of the “axis of resistance”, which has
completely retreated from the level of performance
that Iran believed it was capable of after decades
of work to strengthen this “axis”.
A close companion of Major General Qassim
Soleimani, to whom he spoke hours before boarding
the plane that took him from Damascus to Baghdad,
told me: “The nobleman died. Palestine above all has
lost Hajj Qassem (Soleimani). He was the “King” of
the Axis of the Resistance and its leader. He was
assassinated and this is exactly what he was hoping
to reach in this life (Martyrdom). However, this
axis will live and will not die. No doubt, the Axis
of the Resistance needs to review its policy and
regenerate itself to correct its path. This was what
Hajj Qassim was complaining about and planning to
work on and strategizing about in his last hours. ”
The US struck Iran at the heart of its pride by
killing Major General Soleimani. But the
“axis of the Resistance” killed him before that.
This is how:
When Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
assassinated the deputy head of the Military Council
(the highest authority in the Lebanese Hezbollah,
which is headed by its Secretary-General, Hassan
Nasrallah), Hajj Imad Mughniyah in
Damascus, Syria, Hezbollah could not avenge him
until today.
When Trump gave Netanyahu Jerusalem
as the “capital of Israel”, the “Axis of the
Resistance” did not move except by holding
television symposia and conferences verbally
rejecting the decision.
When President Trump offered the occupied Syrian
Golan Heights to Israel and the
“Axis of Resistance” did not react, the US President
Donald Trump and his team understood that they were
opposed by no effective deterrent. The inaction of
the Resistance axis emboldened Trump to do what he
wants.
