Hezbollah has released a statement expressing support for Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei following threats by Israeli and US leaders that he could be killed.
Axar.az reports, citing the Times of Israel, the statement declares that “threats to assassinate [Khamenei] are foolish and reckless, and will have disastrous consequences…Merely uttering them is an offense to hundreds of millions of believers and those connected to Islam, and it is utterly reprehensible. Today, we are more determined and united around him.”
Hezbollah has not joined the fighting against Israel since Jerusalem began striking inside Iran on Friday. In a statement following the first Israeli strikes, the Lebanese terror group condemned the attack. But it indicated to the Lebanese government that it would not get involved.
