Iran’s new president announces support for Hezbollah 

Iran’s newly elected president, Masoud Pezeshkian, has announced that he will continue to support regional “resistance forces”, including the Hezbollah movement, the Arab media reports.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran has always supported the resistance of the peoples of the region. Support for resistance is rooted in the fundamental policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran,” Pezeshkian said in response to Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah’s congratulatory message on his election to the post of president.

“I am sure that the resistance movements in the region will not allow Israel to continue its belligerent and criminal policy against the persecuted people of Palestine and other countries in the region,” Pezeshkian added.
