Iran’s Quds Force commander Esmail Qaani has said Hezbollah emerged victorious, as he commented on the ceasefire in Lebanon.
In a message reported by Tasnim News Agency, Qaani credited the truce to what he described as the resilience of the Lebanese resistance and backing from Iran.
“The dear people of Lebanon and the region know that the winner of the decisive battle is Hezbollah, the hero.”
He added that any ceasefire would reflect Hezbollah’s endurance on the battlefield.
“If a ceasefire is reached, it will be the result of the steadfastness of the Lebanese resistance and the support of the Islamic Republic of Iran.”
Qaani also dismissed efforts to weaken Lebanon, saying Hezbollah’s actions had instead demonstrated strength.
“Some seek to inflict humiliation on the honourable people of Lebanon, but Hezbollah’s steadfastness proves the extent of our humiliation.”
