Hezbollah Secretary-General Naim Qassem said Thursday that the party "is not neutral and stands with Iran, its leadership and people," and that it "will act as it sees fit in the face of the brutal Israeli-American aggression."
This came in a statement issued by Qassem via the Telegram platform, following a large-scale Israeli attack on Iran, with US support, that began at dawn on June 13. The attack targeted nuclear facilities, missile bases, military leaders, and nuclear scientists.
Iran responded to the aggression by launching ballistic missiles and drones toward Israeli territory, in the largest direct confrontation between the two sides to date.
Qassem added: "We in Hezbollah and the Islamic Resistance are not neutral between Iran's legitimate rights and independence and America's falsehood and aggression, along with the cancerous tumor of Israel and the arrogant powers."
He continued: "We stand with Iran in confronting this global injustice, because we support our independence, the liberation of our land, and the freedom of our decisions and choices."
He added, "We are not neutral, and therefore we express our position alongside Iran, its leadership, and its people, and we will act as we see fit in the face of this brutal Israeli-American aggression."
