The commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guards Quds Force Esmaeil Qaani said on Monday that Israeli operations in Lebanon and Gaza will lead the Resistance Axis, Iran and its allies, to establish a similar traffic situation both in Bab El Mandeb and Hormuz strait, according to state media.

"The evil of the Zionists [Israel] in Lebanon and Gaza, in the shadow of the shameless support of America, will mark the determination of the resistance axis to expand support from both fronts, take steps to activate other fronts, and equate the traffic situation of the Bab El Mandeb Strait with the Strait of Hormuz", Qaani said.
