Israel is too weak to challenge Hezbollah's strength, says Iranian supreme leader

Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei spoke this morning, saying: "The Zionist entity is too small to deal a significant blow to Hezbollah's strong structure."

Khamenei stressed that "the fate of the region is determined by the resistance forces, led by Hezbollah", and criticised Israel's leadership, stating: "The terrorist gang ruling the Zionist entity has not learnt a lesson from its criminal war in Gaza."

Expressing solidarity with Hezbollah, Khamenei said: "All resistance forces in the region stand by Hezbollah and support it."

"It is the duty of all Muslims to stand with the Lebanese people and Hezbollah to confront the malicious Zionist entity," he further added. 

Khamenei also condemned the killing of civilians in Lebanon, describing it as proof of "the ferocity and fury of the Zionist entity and the shortsightedness and stupidity of its leaders".
