The Iranian Vice President for Strategic Affairs, Mohammad Javad Zarif, sent a message to Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah offering his condolences over the martyrdom of several Lebanese citizens due to ongoing Israeli aggression on Lebanon.
In his message to Sayyed Nasrallah, Zarif praised "the steadfastness of the Islamic Resistance [in Lebanon] in the face of [the Israeli] aggression" amid the continued Israeli killing of the country's civilians and destruction of homes and infrastructure.
Zarif also called on the world, international organizations, influential nations, and all peoples to pressure the Israeli occupation entity to halt its crimes.
The top Iranian official pointed out that if the international community does not act to halt Israeli crimes, "the war will have repercussions on security, peace, and stability in the region and the world."
Hezbollah has escalated its top-tier operations since the latest round of Israeli aggression on Lebanon started, launching hundreds of rockets daily on Israeli bases and settlements, including a ballistic missile, dubbed Qader 1, targeting Tel Aviv's suburbs.
Non-stop Israeli genocide
This comes as "Israel" continues its genocidal war on Gaza for almost a year now and four days into the round of ongoing aggression on Lebanon.
