In a message addressed to the Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, Sheikh Qassem commended Tehran for forcing the Israeli regime “to immediately and permanently halt military operations on all fronts, including Lebanon.”

He said the Islamic Republic turned the sole effective glimmer of hope for ending Israeli aggression against Lebanon into a tangible reality, demonstrating to the world that Iran supports truth, the resistance, and oppressed peoples.

“Had others followed its (Iran’s) path, the US and Israel would not have tyrannized, and the Zionist occupation would not have remained entrenched on the land of Palestine and Jerusalem,” he added.

Sheikh Qassem said “words fail to express” Hezbollah’s gratitude for Tehran’s firm and supportive stance towards Lebanon, its people, and its resistance.
