Statement from Hezbollah on the Iranian missile response to Israel:
The Iranian missile response to the Zionist entity in defense of our Lebanese people is a message of moral and political commitment from the Islamic Republic towards Lebanon.
This Iranian support for our legitimate rights and its willingness to bear the financial and political cost of this commitment once again confirms that Iran is the one supporting Lebanon, not the other way around, based on its principles and humanitarian values, and the deep historical relationship between the Lebanese and Iranian peoples. Iran has always wanted the best for our country and has contributed to supporting its resistance to liberate its land, rebuild what the Zionist aggression has destroyed, and its honorable stance alongside Lebanon deserves gratitude from its authorities, not denial and deliberate insults in response to foreign dictates.
We call on the Lebanese authorities to seize the available opportunity and correct their official relations with the Islamic Republic in a way that serves the interests of both countries, and to benefit from this Iranian support to achieve our national goals, especially in light of the formation of the new regional umbrella emerging from the Islamabad negotiations.
This will enable the Lebanese state, through indirect negotiations with the enemy and relying on this umbrella and the factors of strength represented by the resistance, the steadfastness of the popular position, and internal consensus, to achieve our people's demands for liberating their land, returning the displaced, reconstruction, and preserving national sovereignty.
We in Hezbollah, on behalf of our people, their martyrs and steadfast families, the displaced, and all free and honorable people in our country, highly appreciate this loyalty from Iran and salute the courage of this noble stance of the Supreme Leader, the President, the government, and parliament, the army, the Revolutionary Guards, and the Iranian people for their stand alongside our legitimate rights and national cause.
These are rights that we will continue to defend through our heroic resistance until they are achieved, so that our people can remain on their land, living with dignity, freedom, and pride.
