BEIRUT, June 20 (Xinhua) — Hezbollah continues to support Iran and will “act as it sees fit” to counter “joint US-Israeli aggression” against the Islamic Republic, the group’s leader Naim Qassem said on Thursday.
He called Iran a “beacon for the oppressed” and a key supporter of resistance movements, particularly in Palestine and Lebanon.
According to N. Qassem, Israel had no reason to attack Iran’s peaceful nuclear program, which was a legitimate scientific project and did not violate international law. The real motive for the West’s hostility is Iran’s role in inspiring resistance and undermining foreign dominance in the region, the Hezbollah leader said.
N. Qasem also condemned the US threats against Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and called on other countries to unite with Iran to resist hegemony and end aggression.
Israel launched a major strike on Iran early Friday aimed at crippling its nuclear infrastructure, ballistic missile production and military capabilities, with the United States reportedly considering joining the operation against Tehran. –0–
