In a Tuesday message addressed to Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, Sheikh Qassem said words are insufficient to express Hezbollah’s deep appreciation for Iran’s firm and supportive positions toward Lebanon, its people and the resistance.
He said Iran’s stances helped increase pressure on the Zionist regime to agree to an immediate and permanent halt to military operations on all fronts, including Lebanon, as part of the broader understanding linked to ending the war against Iran under the Iran-US memorandum of understanding.
The Hezbollah chief said Iran has transformed the only effective hope for restraining Israeli and American aggression against Lebanon into a tangible reality, arguing that Tehran has demonstrated to the world its support for justice, resistance and oppressed nations.
Sheikh Qassem reiterated that Hezbollah has always maintained that Iran has given extensive support to Hezbollah, the resistance and the Lebanese people without seeking anything in return.
Iran has assisted Lebanon in strengthening its capabilities, pursuing liberation of its territory and addressing social needs, he added.
He also praised Iran’s stance in confronting the Zionist regime and said Tehran was bearing heavy costs and sacrifices in the process.
Sheikh Qassem described Iran as a symbol of dignity and honor.
