Iran’s parliament speaker Mohammad Bagheri Ghalibaf, a former IRGC commander, said Hezbollah has built its structure over decades in a way that deaths of leaders and commanders would not lead to its collapse, Al Jazeera reports.

“The resistance front will emerge victorious in the war, and we will see that the different pillars of resistance, with the help of the Islamic Republic of Iran, will continue to confront the regime in a unified and strong manner, continuing the regime’s defeat in the field of battle,” he said during an address to parliament in reference to Israel.

A large image of Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah was erected on the parliament floor as lawmakers convened this morning.
