Hezbollah issued Saturday a strong condemnation of the recent Israeli aggression targeting the Islamic Republic of Iran, describing it as a dangerous escalation that affects the entire region.

In a statement, Hezbollah emphasized that the attack reveals the hostile nature of the Israeli occupation, "which perpetrates massacres and causes suffering and destruction with the full, explicit support of the United States, which bears full responsibility alongside it for these tragedies and sorrows."

Hezbollah stressed that this blatant assault on Iran's national sovereignty will in no way affect the Islamic Republic's unwavering and explicit stance, nor its full support at all levels for the Palestinian and Lebanese people.

The Lebanese Resistance group also praised the Iranian armed forces for successfully thwarting the attack, extending condolences to Iran's leadership and people for the martyrs who ascended on the path to al-Quds and wished the injured a swift recovery.

"We extend our condolences to the leadership of the Republic and its honorable people for the martyrs on the path to al-Quds, and we ask God to grant the injured a speedy recovery and the Islamic Republic victory and steadfastness," the statement concluded.
