Psychological warfare won’t help Israel win battle against resistance: Iran’s security chief
Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Ali Akbar Ahmadian has stressed that psychological warfare waged by Israel will not help the Zionist entity win the battle against the resistance front.
Ahmadian made the remark as he visited the office of Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement in Tehran on Tuesday to offer his condolences to the group’s representatives over the martyrdom of its Secretary General, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.
Speaking to journalists at the office, the security chief stressed that the Israeli assassination of Nasrallah will strengthen the resistance’s resolve to fight the regime.
After this incident, a new era will begin for Hezbollah, he said, reaffirming support for the Lebanese resistance movement.
"As we defended Hezbollah during the time of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, we will continue to defend it afterwards.”
Commenting on the response to Israeli crimes, Ahmadian said, “The resistance front is engaged in a war, and a single action is meaningless.”
“This confrontation began with the resistance front’s action, not the enemy’s. And since then, the enemy has been reacting in desperation, portraying itself to be successful with psychological operations," he noted.
Stressing that Israeli forces launched a limited ground offensive against Lebanon on Monday night, but immediately retreated, Ahmadian said, “God willing, in the end, victory is for the resistance.”
Nasrallah was martyred on Friday after the Israeli regime bombarded a Beirut suburb using US-provided weapons and munitions.
The assassination came as part of the regime’s escalation against Hezbollah. Hundreds of people have been killed across the country since last week.
Israel has been targeting Lebanon since October 2023, when it launched a genocidal war on the Gaza Strip.
Hezbollah has been responding to the aggression with numerous retaliatory operations, including one with a hypersonic ballistic missile, targeting the occupied Palestinian territories.
The Lebanese resistance movement has vowed to keep up its operations against Israel as long as the Israeli regime continues its Gaza war, which has so far killed more than 41, 615 Palestinians, mostly women and children.
Nasrallah was elected Secretary General of Hezbollah in 1992 at the age of 32 after an Israeli helicopter gunship assassinated his predecessor, Sayyed Abbas al-Musawi.
