Hezbollah’s deputy secretary-general, Naim Qassem, hailed the recent agreement between Iran and the United States as a “great victory,” suggesting it could be utilized to pressure Israel out of Lebanon. Qassem expressed gratitude to Iran for linking Lebanon to the deal, implying increased Iranian support. He stipulated that any future negotiations with Israel should be strictly limited to “mutual security” concerns. Qassem firmly stated that Hezbollah’s disarmament is an internal Lebanese matter, rejecting external pressure on the issue. The comments signal a strengthened position for the militant group following the deal and a continued commitment to its anti-Israel stance. This rhetoric underscores Hezbollah’s reliance on Iranian backing and its ongoing hostility towards Israel.
