Sheikh Qassem: Hizbullah Stands with Iran, a Global Model of Steadfastness and Moral Leadership
We cannot be neutral when it comes to Iran’s legitimate rights and independence versus American lies and hostility. We stand with Iran, with its leadership and its people
Lebanon, PUREWILAYAH.COM - Hezbollah Deputy Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem praised the Islamic Republic of Iran on Thursday, calling it a “global model of resilience and humanitarian leadership,” and reaffirmed its central role in the Palestinian liberation struggle.
In a public address, Sheikh Qassem emphasized that under the leadership of Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei, Iran has firmly resisted the ambitions of imperialist powers led by the United States.
“The tyrants and imperialists have failed to break Iran’s steadfastness despite 46 years of siege and aggression,” Sheikh Qassem said.
“Tyrannical America and the criminal Zionist entity will never be able to subjugate the Iranian people or the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps,” he asserted.
Iran's Internal Strength as the Key to Progress
Sheikh Qassem highlighted Iran’s continued advancement across political, economic, scientific, and military sectors, attributing this progress to the internal cohesion between the Iranian people and their leadership.
He noted that Iran’s development has taken place under heavy sanctions and continuous threats, yet it has succeeded in preserving its independence and building its sovereign capabilities.
US-Israeli Accusations ‘Flimsy and Baseless’
The Hezbollah official dismissed Israeli claims linking its aggression toward Iran with Tehran’s nuclear program, describing such allegations as a fabricated excuse engineered by Washington and backed by global tyrants.
“This is a flimsy pretext orchestrated by the United States and embraced by oppressive regimes worldwide,” he said.
Sheikh Qassem asserted that Iran’s peaceful uranium enrichment program is a legitimate right under international law and the IAEA, and poses no threat to any nation.
“What truly terrifies them is Iran’s scientific progress and its ability to lead the region without submitting to foreign domination,” he explained.
US Threats Destabilize the Middle East and the World
Responding to recent statements by former U.S. President Donald Trump, including threats directed at Iran’s Supreme Leader, Sheikh Qassem warned of broader global consequences.
“This is not just about Iran. The American threats are aimed at the entire region and all free peoples of the world,” he said.
He cautioned that any escalation by Washington would ignite chaos in the Middle East and worsen global instability.
“America will gain nothing but disgrace and defeat,” he warned.
“They are leading the region into chaos and dragging the world into open crises.”
Hizbullah Reaffirms Its Full Support for Iran
In conclusion, Sheikh Naim Qassem reaffirmed Hizbullah’s unwavering support for the Islamic Republic of Iran, declaring the movement's alignment with Tehran in the face of US-Israeli aggression.
“We cannot be neutral when it comes to Iran’s legitimate rights and independence versus American lies and hostility,” he stated.
“We stand with Iran, with its leadership and its people, and we will act as we see fit in confronting this aggression.”
He called on all free peoples, scholars, resistance fighters, and institutions to rally behind the Iranian nation.
“Freedom-loving people and principled thinkers must rise in solidarity with the Iranian leadership and people.”
Sheikh Qassem ended his statement by expressing full confidence in Iran’s power and the strength of the IRGC, affirming that the Zionist regime’s attacks have only strengthened Iran’s standing. (PW)
