Hezbollah's secretary general, Sheikh Naim Qassem, said Iran has worked to prevent broader instability in the Middle East, framing the country's actions as being in defence of what he described as the interests of resistance groups and of humanity more broadly.
According to a report from Iran's Mehr News Agency, Qassem said Iran "will prove to the world that it protected this world from falling, in the interests of the forces of resistance and humanity." The remarks were made amid ongoing regional tensions involving Iran-aligned groups across the Middle East.
Mehr News, a state-linked Iranian outlet, did not provide further detail in its report on the specific context or audience of Qassem's comments.
Hezbollah, the Lebanon-based political and military movement that Qassem leads, has been a central player in regional conflicts involving Israel and other states, and his public statements are closely watched as indicators of the group's posture.
