Hezbollah Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassem met with Iranian Foreign Minister Dr. Abbas Araghchi and his accompanying delegation, in the presence of Ambassador Mojtaba Amani.
The meeting included a comprehensive discussion on regional and global developments, and their implications for countries in the region.
Sheikh Naim Qassem spoke about the ongoing US-Israeli aggression and the Israeli non-compliance with the ceasefire agreement signed in November 2024, despite Lebanon’s commitment and implementation of its responsibilities south of the Litani River. This confirms the enemy’s expansionist intentions, as stated by Netanyahu about “Greater Israel”.
He said: “The Israeli enemy will not achieve its goals by continuing aggression, given the people’s resilience, resistance, and commitment to liberating the land and returning to villages and cities in the South. We will continue to cooperate with the state and army to expel the occupation, stop aggression, free prisoners, rebuild, and build the state.”
Dr. Araghchi said: “Iran wants to strengthen its relationship with Lebanon, like relations between friendly states. The accompanying economic delegation aims to enhance cooperation in various fields.”
He added: “Despite the siege and sanctions on Iran, the state’s and people’s will has led to resilience and addressing the field reality. The government has taken measures that will have effects soon, God willing. Threats won’t work with Iran, depriving it of its right to peaceful nuclear energy and developing its defense capabilities. We will continue to strengthen Iran’s pride and power, led by Imam Khamenei, in facing challenges.”
