Hezbollah Secretary General Naim Qassem met with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on Friday in Lebanon, where the two discussed cooperation with the Lebanese Armed Forces “to expel the occupation” and reconstruction efforts.
According to a statement by Hezbollah, Qassem talked about “the continuation of the American-Israeli aggression and the Israeli enemy’s failure to abide by the ceasefire agreement signed in November 2024, despite Lebanon’s commitment and its implementation of its obligations south of the Litani River.”
“The Israeli enemy will not achieve its objectives from the continuation of the aggression amid the presence of this popular and resistant coherence, which is insisting on liberating the land and returning to the southern villages and towns,” Qassem said during the meeting.
“We will continue to cooperate with the state and the army to expel the occupation, halt the aggression, liberate the captives and achieve reconstruction and state building,” Qassem added.
FM Araghchi for his part said that Iran “wants to strengthen relations with Lebanon” and that it will remain “resilient” in the face of the current challenges despite “the siege and the sanctions.”
