Qué es la Fuerza Quds, el cuerpo de elite iraní que organiza los ataques en el exterior

“Ya no estarán a salvo en ningún lugar del mundo”. La amenaza la hizo la Fuerza Quds, el cuerpo de elite encargado de las operaciones en el exterior de los Guardianes de la Revolución de Irán. Así, puso en alerta máxima a cualquier eventual activo de los Estados Unidos e Israel en el mundo, incluso en la Argentina, socio estratégico de los gobiernos de Donald Trump y Benjamin Netanyahu.
La amenaza se materializó en el tercer día de la guerra y a poco más de tres meses del comienzo del Mundial de fútbol en Estados Unidos, Canadá y México, el principal evento masivo que tendrá lugar en el planeta este año y que se desarrollará mayormente en territorio estadounidense. La selección iraní está clasificada, aunque a esta altura su participación es una incógnita.

En un comunicado, esa fuerza especial iraní advirtió que no descansará “hasta que el enemigo sea derrotado. Ya no estarán a salvo en ningún lugar del mundo, ni siquiera en sus propios hogares”.
A la Fuerza Quds se le atribuye la organización del atentado terrorista a la mutual judía AMIA en 1994 que causó 85 muertos.
Qué es la Fuerza Quds
La Fuerza Quds es un poderoso brazo paramilitar de élite del Cuerpo de la Guardia Revolucionaria Islámica (IRGC), la organización militar más grande de Irán. Es considerado un grupo terrorista por Estados Unidos. Su nombre significa Jerusalén en farsi y árabe.
“Las Fuerzas Quds son las que operan en el exterior. Pertenece a la Guardia Revolucionaria Islámica y son las encargadas de supervisar, abastecer, entrenar y a veces también actuar, tanto con grupos terroristas aliados de Irán en Medio Oriente como en todo el mundo. Son los que hacen la avanzada” en el terreno, dijo a TN el analista internacional Mauro Enbe. Irán lanzó una nueva advertencia con EE.UU.: “No van a estar a salvo en ningún lugar del mundo”.

“La amenaza era completamente esperable para mostrar poder frente a Estados Unidos e Israel. Habrá que estar atento a cualquier situación que podría pasar. No sé cómo estará la situación cuando sea el Mundial. Esta es una amenaza que busca provocar miedo en la población”, añadió el especialista.
Y afirmó: “Lamentablemente, como han hecho en otras ocasiones, enseguida salta la alerta respecto de eventos masivos e instituciones judías no necesariamente israelíes, lo que demuestra el carácter antisemita de todo esto”.

Said Chaya, director del Núcleo de Estudios en Medio Oriente y profesor de la Universidad Austral, dijo a TN que Quds actúa “como una diplomacia paralela en materia de defensa con ciertos grupos no estatales de Medio Oriente”.
“Esto lo pone por afuera del control del presidente y lo deja en manos del líder supremo. Es como una fuerza de depuración en manos del líder supremo”, resumió.
Cuántos miembros tienen las milicias de Quds
La fuerza Quds fue comandada desde 1998 por Qasem Soleimani, asesinado en un ataque estadounidense en enero de 2020. Se trataba de uno de los personajes más influyentes de Irán.
El grupo actúa de manera encubierta, aunque no siempre, en distintos puntos del planeta. Según la BBC, “se lo vincula con el grupo Hezbolláh del Líbano y las milicias chiítas en Irak y en Afganistán. Es un importante instrumento de la política exterior iraní. Muchos la describen como una combinación de las fuerzas de operaciones especiales y la Agencia Central de Inteligencia (CIA) estadounidese”.
A este grupo de elite se le atribuyen distintos atentados en numerosas partes del mundo. De hecho, el general de brigada Ahmad Vahidi, nuevo comandante en jefe del Cuerpo de la Guardia Revolucionaria Islámica, planeó el atentado a la AMIA cuando era comandante de las Fuerzas Quds. Hoy está prófugo de la justicia argentina.
Washington acusó a Quds de armar al antiguo gobierno sirio de Bashar al Assad y hasta los talibanes afganos.
Distintas estimaciones le atribuyen entre 5000 y hasta más de 10.000 miembros reclutados de acuerdo con sus habilidades y el grado de lealtad a la Revolución Islámica.
Su principal misión, según la inteligencia occidental, es ayudar a establecer milicias proiraníes y fuerzas de combate en países de la región.

Trump presses NATO partners on support as Hegseth blasts hesitation

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth warned that some traditional U.S. allies are «hemming and hawing about the use of force» as Washington presses forward with its campaign against Iran, raising fresh questions about NATO cohesion at a moment of escalation.
Spain has refused U.S. permission to use certain bases for strikes on Iran, calling for de-escalation and adherence to international law. Turkey has criticized the operation and warned of broader regional destabilization, while President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said he was «saddened» by Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s death and denied that Turkish territory was used in the campaign.
In a statement released on Saturday, French President Emmanuel Macron said that, «The outbreak of war between the United States, Israel and Iran carries grave consequences for international peace and security.» He added, «The ongoing escalation is dangerous for all. It must stop.»
During Monday’s media briefing, Hegseth drew a sharp contrast between Israel and what he described as hesitant allies. «Israel has clear missions as well, for which we are grateful. Capable partners, as we’ve said since the beginning. Capable partners are good partners, unlike so many of our traditional allies, who wring their hands and clutch their pearls, hemming and hawing about the use of force.»

The criticism reflects growing frustration inside the administration that while some European capitals have issued statements of support, operational backing has not matched the rhetoric.
President Donald Trump also voiced dissatisfaction with allied hesitation. In an interview with The Daily Telegraph, Trump said he was «very disappointed» in British Prime Minister Keir Starmer for initially blocking U.S. use of British bases and that Starmer took «far too much time» to reverse course.
The United Kingdom later authorized U.S. use of key facilities, including Diego Garcia, after raising initial legal objections and following a drone strike on RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus.

Justin Fulcher, former senior adviser to Hegseth, told Fox News Digital the moment represents «an absolutely critical inflection point where NATO should act in a unified way in support of what the United States is doing.»
He framed the issue as larger than the current campaign. «Symbolically, the U.S.-NATO alliance is critical when looking at actually restoring deterrence globally,» Fulcher said, arguing that visible unity would send a message not only to Tehran but to other geopolitical rivals watching how the alliance responds under pressure.

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte has sought to downplay suggestions of division.
«I spoke with all the key European leaders over the weekend,» Rutte said on Fox News. «There is widespread support for what the president is doing.»
He added, «Europe is stepping up, is doing what is necessary to make sure this operation can go ahead and deliver all the enablement necessary.»
Germany has struck a more cautious tone. Chancellor Friedrich Merz warned in Sunday that strikes risk an Iraq- or Afghanistan-style quagmire and that Europe would bear the consequences.
At the same time, he said Berlin would not «lecture» the U.S. «We recognize the dilemma,» he said, explaining that repeated attempts over past decades had not put Iran off trying to acquire nuclear weapons or oppressing its own people. «So we’re not going to be lecturing our partners on their military strikes against Iran.»
«Despite all the doubts, we share many of their aims,» he said.

Fulcher contrasted the current hesitation with the strong reactions from some NATO capitals during past alliance disputes, including tensions surrounding Greenland.
«When you look at Greenland, that was obviously a very touchy subject for some countries in the Alliance,» Fulcher said. «Iran for decades has been a huge promoter and funder of terrorism all across the globe — attacks that have happened in Europe, in many NATO and European countries,» he said. «For me, it is quite shocking that we’re seeing a difficult time for many NATO members to fully unify and step up in support of the United States and what the U.S. and Israel is doing in Iran.»
He argued that Europe has a significant strategic incentive to see Iranian capabilities degraded.
«I think actually Europe and NATO have the most to gain from neutralizing the threat that emanates from Iran,» Fulcher said. «When you look at whether the ballistic missile threat or some of the state-sponsored terrorism threats, Europe has been on the receiving end of much more of these threats than the United States has in some cases.»
He stressed that support should extend beyond public endorsements.

«Some of our European allies can do a lot more to not just support with words, which should be the bare minimum here, but also support with actual tangible action,» Fulcher concluded.

Trump awards Medal of Honor to three soldiers, honors ‘unsurpassed courage’

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
President Donald Trump bestowed the Medal of Honor to three U.S. Army soldiers Monday, in a White House ceremony honoring their «unsurpassed courage.»
The president touted the «three really incredible American heroes — one living and two no longer with us.»
The president posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor to Master Sgt. Roderick (Roddie) W. Edmonds; posthumously awarded the medal to Staff Sgt. Michael H. Ollis and awarded the medal to Command Sergeant Major Terry P. Richardson.
The president, Monday, first introduced the award for Edmonds.

«In 1941, Roddie Edmonds of Knoxville, Tennessee, enlisted in the US Army and soon rose to one of the youngest master sergeants in the military,» the president said. «In 1944, he sailed to Europe vim and vigor, Roddie soon found himself on the front lines of the Battle of the Bulge. That was a big one, massively outnumbered by enemy forces, his 1,200 soldier unit fought valiantly until they were completely overrun. The force was massive on the other side. … After a four day death march, one that was covered very well by the history books, through bitter cold, they were put into a German POW camp.»
The president said Edmonds «was the top ranking infantryman and the camp he was number one, meaning he was responsible for the lives of his fellow service members.»

«On July 26th, 1945, a Nazi SS officer issued an order over the camp loudspeaker, loud and strong, he said that only American Jews were to show up to roll call. Following this morning, he added all who disobey this order will be shot immediately,» the president explained. «There were more than 200 Jewish American soldiers in the camp, and Roddy knew their separation from the group would mean certain death. So that night he summoned his team and devised a plan. The next morning, all 1200 American men fell in line together, shoulder to shoulder. Enraged, the Nazi commandant rushed forward, drew his Luger pistol, and pressed the barrel between Sergeant Edmond’s eyes. He barked at Roddy, they cannot all be Jews! He screamed loud and again and again, and staring straight back into the raging face of evil, Sergeant Edmonds replied fearlessly, ‘we are all Jews here.’The Nazi officer lowered his weapon and the soldiers erupted in cheers.»
The president said that «with total disregard for his own life, Roddie had saved over 200 of his fellow service members.»
«Their camp was liberated two months later,» the president said.
The award was accepted by Edmonds’ son, Chris.
Next, the president honored Richardson.
«On September 12th, 1968, 102 brave men of Terry’s Alpha Company were tasked with securing Hill 222 deep behind the enemy’s line in Vietnam,» Trump said.
«They didn’t know it at the time, had no idea, but the area was totally infested with nearly 300 enemy bunkers and many, many enemy soldiers, far outnumbering them by at least 4- or 5-, even 6-to-1,» the president said. «As Terry led Lima Platoon up Hill 222, the enemy launched an ambitious and violent attack, unleashing a withering fire of machine guns and rocket propelled grenades. Just didn’t stop. They just kept coming, pinned down and hell on Earth.»

The president said, «Terry summoned unimaginable courage. Three times. He exposed himself to enemy fire to rescue severely wounded comrades, and three times he dragged them back to the group.»
«Terry soon realized that the 82 remaining men had one chance of survival. That was air support. Acting without regard of his own life, he grabbed the radio and charged up hill 222 alone. He needed to be there. It was the only place you’d get reception,» the president explained. «He withstood a storm of enemy bullets, eventually reaching the top where he spent the next eight hours calling in tactical strikes, completely exposed….An enemy sniper shot rang out and the bullet tore through his right leg violently. He was in bad shape, but Terry disregarded that and pushed through. And after seven more hours of calling in American fire from above, the enemy retreated.»
«Later that day, his team found him with both eardrums totally ruptured and a mangled right leg and foot, but still barely living but living nevertheless,» the president said. «Due to Terry’s actions above and beyond the call of duty 82 men, Alpha company survived this battle, including two in this room.»
The president invited Norm Meyer and Dave Hemmer to stand up.

The president congratulated Richardson, and told him that «today you entered the ranks of the bravest warriors ever to strike the face of the earth.»
Finally, the president posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor to Staff Sgt. Michael H. Ollis for gallantry and intrepidity above and beyond the call of duty, while serving in Afghanistan.
«On August 28th, 2013, terrorists detonated a 400 pound car bomb on the east wall of the Forward operating base Kinzie, ripping open a 60 foot wide breach into a compound that housed NATO coalition forces,» the president explained. «A lot of them, ten Taliban fighters wearing suicide vests swarm through from across the compound.»
«Michael saw the pillar of white smoke rising and ran to join the fight, rushing without his gear, wearing almost no gear, no Kevlar helmet, no body armor. Just one magazine in his rifle,» the president continued. «Along the way, he encountered a Polish soldier, and together they advanced under heavy fire. Very, very heavy fire. At one point, shrapnel ripped through the Polish soldier’s legs, rendering him unable to walk very, very severely hurt. In that chaos of gunfire, explosions and charred human remains, a terrorist insurgent appeared rounding a corner with his suicide vest, fully armed. And you could see it. It was going to happen.»
The president said the terrorist «charged the wounded Polish soldier without hesitation.»
«Michael raised his gun and forced himself between the insurgent and the man he just met, shielding him with his own body. He knew what was going to happen,» the president said. «He shielded him with his own body.»
«You know, bravery is amazing. You never really know who’s brave, who’s not until they’re really tested,» the president said. «We think some people are brave, and they’re not. We think others aren’t. And they are. You never know.»
But Trump said Ollis «was tested.»

«That’s called the ultimate test, right? And it perhaps his final heartbeat,» the president said. «Michael fired his weapon, and the terrorist detonated his vest. Simultaneously, staff Sergeant Ollis was killed just weeks before his 25th birthday. And nobody was any more brave than that.»
The president added: «And his final act on earth, Michael, absorbed the blast, sparing the life of that Polish warrior who we are grateful to have in the room with us today.»
The president invited Polish Second Lieutenant Carol Sarah Piqua to come to the podium.
The Medal of Honor is awarded to members of the Armed Forces who, according to the White House, «distinguish themselves conspicuously by gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of their own lives above and beyond the call of duty.»

The White House said the honorees are individuals who «engaged in an action against an enemy of the United States; engaged in military operations involving conflict with an opposing foreign force; or serving with friendly foreign forces engaged in an armed conflict against an opposing armed force in which the United States is not a belligerent party.»
The White House said the conduct «must involve great personal bravery or self-sacrifice so conspicuous as to clearly distinguish the individual above his or her comrades and must have involved risk of life.»
«There must be incontestable proof of the performance of the meritorious conduct, and each recommendation for the award must be considered on the standard of extraordinary merit,» the White House said.
