  "summary": "The commander of the Quds Force in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Esmail Qaani, has stated that the United States is currently in a \"humiliating situation\" across the Middle East due to growing resistance in the region. Qaani highlighted the unity among resistance forces and their surprising tactics, contrasting the US's initial expectations of swiftly incapacitating Iran with the actual, far less predictable outcomes. He also noted the US's expulsion from Iraq following the 23-year military presence, and mentioned Hezbollah's continued existence in Lebanon despite claims of its elimination by the US and Israel.",
