Iran FM: Do not underestimate Hezbollah's ability to defend Lebanon
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has hailed Lebanon’s Hezbollah movement for its resistance against the Israeli regime.
Araghchi said that no one should underestimate Hezbollah's ability to defend the country against any Israeli aggression.
The top Iranian diplomat made the comments on Tuesday on the sidelines of the 2024 United Nations General Assembly in New York.
Araghchi said Hezbollah is “more than capable of flattening the bases and colonies of the Israeli regime.”
He noted that Hezbollah's true power is rooted in its inner capacities and the popular support it enjoys among the Lebanese people.
Do not ever underestimate Hezbollah's ability to defend Lebanon against any aggression.

Hezbollah's true power is rooted in its own capacities and popular support. It is more than capable of flattening the bases and colonies of the Israeli regime.
This does not, however,…
Araghchi called on the Arab and Islamic countries to fulfill their duty by standing up against Israel.
On Monday, the Israeli regime’s military carried out over 330 raids in more than 117 Lebanese towns and cities, particularly in the south and Beqaa regions. At least 569 people -- including 50 children, and 94 women -- were killed while 5,000 were wounded.
In retaliation for Israel’s bombardment of Lebanon, Hezbollah conducted new missile strikes against the northern occupied territories.
On Tuesday, the Lebanese resistance movement fired 50 rockets at Dado base, the headquarters of the Northern Command of the Israeli military, located northwest of the occupied city of Safad, just 12 kilometers from Lebanon’s border.
Separately on Tuesday, Hezbollah said it had targeted the Samson base, a command preparation center and regional preparation unit, using Fadi 3 missiles for the first time.
