Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf said the pillars of resistance cannot be isolated and that Lebanese fighters' courage, combined with Iranian diplomacy, will guarantee Lebanon's sovereignty and dismantle Israeli 'warmongering.' The statement continues a pattern of escalating rhetoric from Ghalibaf over the past week.
Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf issued a statement Thursday evening reiterating Tehran's support for the 'resistance axis' in Lebanon. 'They can never catch any part of the pillars of resistance alone and isolated,' Ghalibaf said, crediting Lebanese fighters and Iranian diplomacy for guaranteeing Lebanon's sovereignty and territorial integrity. The remarks, published by Iranian state-linked channels, are the latest in a series of increasingly bellicose statements from Ghalibaf over the past week — as The Zioneer reported, he has previously warned that US and Israeli assets in the region are no longer immune (June 7), described diplomacy and military action as complementary (June 8), and threatened to end dialogue entirely after an Israeli strike in Lebanon (June 11). Thursday's statement specifically vows to 'dismantle the crazy antics and warmongering of the Israeli regime.' No concrete policy action or military directive accompanied the rhetoric. Ghalibaf is widely seen by Iranian sources as a key power broker behind the scenes, with influence extending beyond his parliamentary role.
