🇱🇧| Hezbollah Secretary-General Naim Qassem in solidarity with the Islamic Republic of Iran:

– “Over the past two months, several parties have asked us a clear question about our intervention if America and Israel were to attack Iran. Our answer was: we are targeted by the potential aggression and are determined to defend ourselves. At that time, we will choose how to act, whether by intervening or not, but we are not neutral.”

– “Who said that defense is limited to parity in power? Defense means preventing the enemy from achieving its objectives.”

– “There were those who planned to make Lebanon part of Israel and to sell Lebanese land to it. We stand with truth, honor, and the homeland, with the liberation of the land, and with loyalty to the martyrs and to the honorable families who have given, sacrificed, and continue to do so.”

– “When Trump threatens Supreme Leader Khamenei, he is threatening tens of millions who follow this leader.”

– “It is our duty to confront this threat with all necessary measures and preparedness, because any harm to Supreme Leader Khamenei constitutes an assassination of stability and of the situation in the region and the world.”

– “A war on Iran this time could ignite the region. We will not be among those who facilitate such steps; we hope to obstruct it, and alongside defense, hope remains open to broad possibilities.”

– “Do not threaten us with death; it is not in your hands but in the hands of God Almighty. As for dignity and honor, they are in our hands, and we will not relinquish them, for they are a responsibility.”

– “I salute the Islamic Republic and say to the Iranian people: you are the jewel of the crown. We are with you, and you are with us.”
