Iran’s New Supreme Leader Reaffirms Country's Support for Hezbollah
Khamenei said Iran backs Hezbollah and called an end to Israeli strikes on Lebanon a شرط for any agreement with Washington.
- On Sunday, Iran Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei stated that peace between Tehran and the United States depends on the "absolute, unconditional termination" of Israeli military aggression against Lebanon.
- Iran previously formalized this demand in a June memorandum of understanding with Washington, but the agreement collapsed amid disputes over the Strait of Hormuz.
- Praising Hezbollah Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem and his fighters for their "perseverance and steadfastness," Khamenei affirmed that defending the group remains a "strategic mandate" for the Islamic Republic.
- At least 4,329 people have been killed in the latest violence, even as Lebanese President Joseph Aoun met with President Donald Trump to discuss disarming the group.
- The conflict has spread to Yemen amid reports of exchanges between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia, while Israeli forces continue obstructing the US-mediated framework agreement for phased withdrawal.
