Iran’s view of the Lebanon-Israel ceasefire

Last Updated on December 1, 2024 5:53 am

The commander-in-chief of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Major General Hossein Salami, has reacted to the ceasefire agreement between Lebanon and Israel. He said that it is a strategic victory for Lebanon and a defeat for Israel.

The IRGC chief made the message in a message on Thursday, Mehr News reported.

In a message to Hezbollah Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassem, Major General Hossein Salami congratulated Lebanon and Hezbollah for “imposing a ceasefire” against Israel.

Salami said that the ceasefire on the Lebanese front is a strategic and humiliating defeat for the Zionist regime, which has not achieved any of its evil goals and ambitions in the war against Hezbollah.

He added that the ceasefire could be the beginning of a new ceasefire towards ending the Gaza war.

Salami noted that when Israel agreed to the ceasefire, it was under Hezbollah missile attacks, which were targeting the regime’s military bases and strategic sites. This was a lesson for Tel Aviv and its supporters.

He said that this unacceptable regime is heading for collapse, and the crimes it is committing in Gaza and Lebanon will only strengthen the resistance.

The IRGC chief said that Hezbollah achieved this victory by actually preventing Israel from achieving its evil goals and imposing a ceasefire on the northern Lebanese front.

Israel began its violent offensive on Lebanon in early October 2023 after waging a genocidal war on Gaza. At least 3,823 people were killed and 15,859 injured in the Israeli attack in Lebanon.
