In a meeting with Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, a Hezbollah delegation stated that Imam Khomeini ordered the IRGC to enter Lebanon during the 1982 war, and that Lebanon became the first country to force the Zionist entity to withdraw, according to a report.
The statement from the Hezbollah delegation to Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, reported Sunday evening, reinforces the long-standing narrative of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) playing a pivotal role in the 1982 Lebanon War. The delegation credited Imam Khomeini's decision to send IRGC forces to Lebanon as a decisive factor in what they described as Lebanon becoming the first country to force the Zionist entity to withdraw. The report comes amid ongoing Iranian and Hezbollah assertions of their role in the region. The claim is based on a single source and has not been independently verified.
