Hezbollah Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassem, while addressing the central Ashura mourning service in Beirut’s Dahieh, has reiterated allegiance to Imam Hussein’s path and explained that the Islamic Republic of Iran foiled the three main objectives of the aggression, Iranian news outlet Mehr news reports, citing Lebanon’s Al Manar.

“Iran emerged victorious after 12 days of aggression, and the ceasefire itself is a declaration of triumph for the Islamic Republic,” Sheikh Qassem affirmed.

“The Islamic Republic has proven that it alone is capable of confronting the American tyranny and the criminal Israel, along with their European support.”

Sheikh Qassem maintained that Hezbollah supports Iran’s independent choices, free from American hegemony. He added that they are proud to stand under the banner of the “brave” leader Sayyed Ali Khamenei.

“The Islamic Republic has thwarted the three goals of the aggression: halting uranium enrichment, striking the missile program, and toppling the regime,” his eminence said.

“We cannot submit to dictates and surrender. We want our homeland to be cherished for generations to come, and we will resist for that, no matter the sacrifices.”
