Iran's new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, reaffirmed Iran's support for the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah in a letter to its leader Naim Qassem and his commanders and fighters.
In the letter, Khamenei praised Hezbollah's "perseverance and determination" and described the group as at the forefront of resistance to Israel and its backers. He also credited the Lebanese people, especially communities in southern Lebanon, for supporting Hezbollah.
Khamenei said that protecting Hezbollah remained one of the strategic policies of the Islamic Republic. He asserted that preserving Lebanon's territorial integrity and ensuring a "complete and unconditional" end to Israeli attacks were Iran's main conditions for any agreement that ends the conflict.
The letter accused the United States and Israel of oppression and injustice and said that "jihad and resistance" were the only path left.
Recall that Hezbollah is a Lebanese Shiite political party and militant group that functions as Iran's most powerful and influential regional representative in the Middle East.
