_News_ | *Qassem supports Iran against Israeli aggression: We will act as we see fit*👇 Hezbollah Secretary-General Naim Qassem issued a statement stressing that his party is not neutral in the face of the Israeli assault on Iran, as it supports “Iran's legitimate rights and sovereignty” against the “arrogance and falsehood of the US and Israel.” He added that Hezbollah will act “as we see fit in response to the brutal Israeli-US aggression.” Qassem described the US threat to Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and the broader attack on Iran as “an aggression against all the peoples of the region and the free people of the world.” He accused Washington of trying to drag the region into chaos and instability, calling on “resistance fighters, the free, and the oppressed to raise their voices loud and clear and show their strength and courage” by rallying around Khamenei's leadership to “put an end to Israeli tyranny.” Hezbollah released a separate statement earlier today calling the threat to assassinate Khamenei “reckless and foolish, with disastrous consequences.” However, neither that statement nor Qassem’s explicitly outlined any concrete steps Hezbollah might take in defense of Iran. This comes as US envoy Tom Barrack visited Beirut today and met with the three top officials to reaffirm Washington's opposition to Lebanon being dragged into war.
