Hezbollah Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem says Iran has made ending Israeli attacks on Lebanon and securing an Israeli withdrawal from Lebanese territory a priority, describing the Islamic Republic’s position as a major sacrifice appreciated by the Lebanese movement, IRNA reports.
According to Al-Ahed news outlet, Qassem said in a statement on Wednesday that the memorandum of understanding signed between Iran and the United States in June had demonstrated its effectiveness in reducing attacks on Lebanon.
He said resistance in the region had emerged in response to Israeli occupation, which is supported by the United States and other Western powers. Hezbollah, founded in 1982, had pursued resistance to liberate occupied land and protect its people, he added.
