Iran stands by Lebanon, says Judiciary Chief Ejei

In a post on social media on Sunday, Iran's Judiciary Chief Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei reacted to the Israeli aggression on Beirut, stating that "The Lebanese resistance is not just a name and title; it is an echo of the zeal, dignity, honor, resistance and common life of nations that do not bow down in the face of oppression, aggression and aggression." He further wrote that "There are strong ideological, faith and spiritual bonds between Iran and the Lebanese people, the Lebanese resistance is the soul of Iran." Ejei concluded by emphasizing: "After its aggressive advances in southern Lebanon, the Zionist enemy has now coveted Beirut, the heart of this country." The remarks come amid heightened tensions following Israeli airstrikes on the Dahiyeh suburb of Beirut, a stronghold of Hezbollah. Iran has historically been a key supporter of Hezbollah, providing military and financial aid. The post underscores Iran's continued backing of the Lebanese resistance against Israel. According to Mehr News, the statement reflects Iran's official stance on the conflict.
