Potential ceasefire in Lebanon will be result of 'great Hezbollah,' Resistance Axis: Parl. speaker

Iran's Majlis (Parliament) Speaker, Mohammad-Baqer Qalibaf

The speaker of Majlis (Iran's Parliament) says emergence of a potential ceasefire in Lebanon will be down to persistence struggle put up by Hezbollah and other members of the regional Axis of Resistance.

"The completion and consolidation of a comprehensive ceasefire in Lebanon will be the result of the resistance and steadfast struggle of the great Hezbollah and the unity of the Axis of Resistance," Mohammad-Baqer Qalibaf wrote in a post on X on Tuesday.

The remarks came amid Hezbollah's successive and decisive retaliatory strikes against sensitive Israeli military targets and illegal settlements in the northern part of the occupied territories.

The Lebanese resistance movement has also directed sustained reprisal against Israeli troops and aerial assets trying to make advances in southern Lebanon.

The counterstrikes have been aimed at countering the Israeli regime's incessant violations of a 2024 ceasefire agreement with Hezbollah, as part of which Tel Aviv was supposed to end its deadly escalation targeting Lebanon.

Iran has stressed that realization of a comprehensive ceasefire in Lebanon is an indivisible part of cessation of the cycle of unprovoked American-Israeli aggression throughout the region that has prompted coordinated and untiring retaliation from the Islamic Republic and regional resistance groups.

Qalibaf added, "Resistance and Iran are one soul, both in war and in ceasefire."

He also said the United States was obliged to abide by any potential ceasefire in Lebanon, and "withdraw from 'Israel First' mistake," referring to Washington's invariable policy of rendering all-out support for Tel Aviv's deadly aggression and occupation targeting the region.
