Hezbollah has strongly condemned the brutal Israeli aggression targeting the Islamic Republic of Iran, considering it a dangerous escalation in the Zionist regime's defiance of all checks and rules, under full US cover and sponsorship.

In its statement, Hezbollah added that the aggression "confirms this enemy’s complete disregard for logic or international law. It knows only the language of murder, fire, and destruction. It has begun to engage in reckless actions and dangerous adventures that threaten to engulf the entire region in flames, pursuing its aggressive ambitions while attempting to escape its deepening internal crises."

The statement also noted that all efforts made over the past period to maintain stability and security in the region were undermined and aborted by the enemy government, exposing regional and international security to grave risks whose repercussions could lead to undesirable consequences.

It stressed that the peoples and nations of the region must recognize that failure to reject and condemn this aggression, and to support Iran and its people, will only embolden the criminal entity to become more aggressive and tyrannical, warning that such inaction would reinforce the US and Israeli hegemonic projects across the region, jeopardize the interests of its populations, and enable further plundering of its resources.

' 'Israel' has crossed all red lines'

In its official statement, Hezbollah condemned in the strongest terms the Israeli aggression, describing it as a dangerous and calculated escalation that violates international law and threatens to plunge the entire region into chaos.

The movement emphasized that Iran has, over the years, exercised remarkable strategic restraint in the face of continuous Israeli provocations and hostile maneuvers, engaging sincerely with diplomatic initiatives aimed at de-escalation, while asserting its sovereign and legitimate right to pursue peaceful nuclear development as a cornerstone of national progress and self-reliance.

Hezbollah warned that "the Israeli enemy has now crossed all red lines, operating under the illusion that such reckless acts of aggression can reconfigure the strategic landscape in its favor. Yet, it will be met with the unshakable will of the Iranian people, who remain steadfast in their defense of their rights, freedom, dignity, and independence.”

The statement stressed that this aggression could not have been executed without explicit American authorization, coordination, and cover, underscoring Washington’s role as a complicit actor in the attack.

Hezbollah accused the US administration of seeking to obscure its responsibility through public denials, while continuing to shield "Israel" diplomatically and militarily.

Reiterating its full and unwavering solidarity with the Islamic Republic of Iran, its leadership, government, and people, Hezbollah affirmed that this latest assault will not weaken Iran but will instead bolster its determination, resilience, and resolve to confront aggression, uphold its sovereignty, and protect the stability of the region.

Hezbollah SG condemns Israeli attack

Hezbollah Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem issued a forceful statement on Friday denouncing the Israeli attack on the Islamic Republic of Iran as a "criminal and reckless act of aggression," asserting that the strike was carried out with full backing and complicity from the United States.

Describing the assault as unjustified and provocative, Sheikh Qassem said its sole objective was to suppress “the voice of truth”, namely, Iran’s steadfast support for the Palestinian people in Gaza and the wider Axis of Resistance across the region. He warned that the aggression marked a dangerous escalation with profound implications for regional stability.

“This act of aggression will not pass without retaliation and accountability,” Sheikh Qassem declared, adding that “The Islamic Republic of Iran remains a beacon of dignity, resistance, and sovereignty, and it will not waver in its principled support for the oppressed, both in the region and globally."

The Hezbollah leader emphasized that neither "Israel" nor the United States would succeed in curbing Iran’s influence or altering the regional balance of power. “On the contrary,” he said, “Iran will emerge stronger and more resolute, and the Zionist entity will come to regret its barbaric conduct.”

Sheikh Qassem also offered heartfelt condolences to Iran’s leader, Sayyed Ali Khamenei, the Iranian government, and the people of Iran on the martyrdom of senior military figures, including Chief of Staff Major General Mohammad Bagheri, IRGC Commander Major General Hossein Salami, and several nuclear scientists. Their deaths, he asserted, would not weaken Iran, but would instead galvanize its determination and fortify its national will.

He concluded by reaffirming Hezbollah’s unwavering alignment with Iran and the broader Resistance front, asserting the Islamic Republic’s right to defend itself and respond decisively to such aggression.
