Hosein Yekta, a commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, reported his presence alongside the Litani River in southern Lebanon by posting a video, and said: “Just as we performed wudu in the Tigris, prayed in Karbala, and saw Saddam hanging from the gallows, now in front of the Israelis I am performing wudu on this river, and we will pray in Jerusalem.”

He went on to add that whatever had been said by Ali Khamenei, the slain leader of the Islamic Republic, had happened.
