TL;DR

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf claimed Wednesday that Iran defeated the United States and Israel, stating that Lebanon is part of the 'axis of resistance' and that Iran supports Hezbollah. The remarks continue a series of defiant statements from the senior Iranian official over the past week, as The Zioneer has reported.

01 · THE DISPATCH

Wednesday evening, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf issued a statement asserting that Iran 'defeated the United States and Israel, two of the world's strongest powers, and did not allow them to achieve their goals.' He added that 'Lebanon is part of the resistance front, and Iran supports Hezbollah.'

The statement is the latest in a series of escalating pronouncements from Ghalibaf over the past week. Earlier Wednesday, as The Zioneer reported at 22:35 Jerusalem, Ghalibaf said the Iranian people's steadfastness 'brought the world's strongest armies to their knees.' On Monday, he stated that Iran had 'taken a big step toward final victory,' according to a report by Barak Betesh (i24NEWS). On Sunday, he vowed the resistance 'will dismantle' Israeli 'warmongering.'

The remarks come amid ongoing military and diplomatic tensions across the region. Hezbollah Secretary-General Naim Qassem delivered a similar address earlier Wednesday, asserting that Iran's power is reshaping the regional order and that Israel seeks to 'disable' Lebanon. Qassem's speech was reported by The Zioneer at 19:24 Jerusalem.

The single source for Ghalibaf's latest statement is his own official channel; no independent corroboration has been published at this time.
