Quds Force commander appears in Iranian media
In an unusual media event, the commander of the Quds Force in the Revolutionary Guards, Esmail Qaani, appeared on Iranian television. This appearance, which was reported by 301 World Arab News (a channel associated with Middle East coverage from a security perspective), received significant resonance due to Qaani's choice to express himself on sensitive political issues.
According to a report on 301 World Arab News, Qaani used the platform to express public support for the Iranian negotiating team. Referring to the US administration, the Quds Force commander referred to President Trump using the term "desperate."
The reports on Qaani's appearance were also circulated by Nitzan Shapira on Telegram and Asaf Rosenzweig, News from the Wide World, who cover developments in the international arena and their impact on the situation in Iran. Initial analyses point to an Iranian attempt to convey a message of internal stability and unity in the face of the heavy international pressure being exerted on Tehran recently.
