TEHRAN- A Lebanese Parliament representative emphasized that the deterrence power of the Zionist regime against the Islamic Republic of Iran and the resistance in Lebanon and Palestine has diminished, and Hezbollah will continue its operations against the regime until the end of the war in Gaza.

Hussein Hajj Hassan, the Lebanese Member of Parliament, said that as long as the war in Gaza continues, the Islamic resistance in Lebanon will continue its operations in support of the residents of the region and in response to the attacks of the Zionist regime on civilians.

He added that if Hezbollah’s operations in the south were ineffective, we would not see all this commotion, mediation efforts, pressures, and threats.

The Lebanese lawmaker continued that “when we went to Syria to prevent Damascus from being toppled down, some in Lebanon were pleased with the overthrow of the Syrian regime but we expelled the great threat of Daesh and Al-Nusra from Lebanon, while some did not feel the danger posed by terrorists. Currently, we are witnessing a threat from the Zionist regime to Lebanon and we will confront such a horrendous threat.”  

Addressing those in Lebanon who take a position against the resistance, he averred that “you always have wrong choices and have never been with the resistance. From your perspective, Lebanon should remain weak and dependent on external forces. You want America to be our ally, while America is the fundamental supporter of the Zionist enemy.”

Hajj Hassan emphasized that America, England, and Western and Arab countries all tried to prevent Yemeni attacks on Zionist regime ships but failed. This also happened in Iraq and Syria. After the attack by the regime on the Iranian consulate in Damascus, most countries of the world opposed the attack, even though the attack on the consulate should have been protected under international treaties.

He also pointed out that the deterrence power of the Zionist enemy against Iran and also against the resistance in Lebanon and Gaza has diminished, and the axis of resistance is at war with it. The enemy has been unsuccessful in achieving its goals despite all its military capabilities and technology over the past seven months.

The Lebanese MP highlighted that more importantly, the loss of confidence of the Zionists in the Israeli army is significant, as evidenced by the dismissal of senior generals of this phony regime.

The Israeli airstrike, which took place in Damascus's Mezzeh district on April 01, resulted in the deaths of seven military advisors from the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC). 

Iranian officials vowed a decisive response to what they described as a violation of international obligations and conventions.

The assault drew sharp rebukes from governments and foreign ministries, citing violations of international law and diplomatic norms.

Issuing a statement, Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani said the “barbaric” attack on the Iranian consulate openly violated international regulations, especially the 1961 Vienna Convention.

Kanaani also said it was essential that this Israeli act be condemned in the strongest terms by the international community, especially the United Nations, and necessary measures taken in regard to the aggression.

The ministry official went on to say that different “aspects of this horrible attack were under investigation and the aggressive Zionist regime was responsible for all consequences.”

The spokesperson for the IRGC said on Monday that 10 nations failed to protect Israel as Iran punished Israel for its air raid on the Iranian consulate in Damascus. 

Brigadier General Ramezan Sharif emphasized that despite the backing of 10 countries, Iran’s retaliatory operation, dubbed “Operation True Promise”, emerged victorious. 

On April 13, Iran fired about 300 missiles and drones at Israel for its attack on the consulate which led to the death of seven Iranian military advisors in Syria.

Sharif also highlighted the enduring significance of the Palestine issue, describing the Quds Day rally as the second-largest demonstration in the country.

Sharif underscored the enduring support for Palestine, exemplified by Operation Al-Aqsa Storm, which he stated disrupted the Zionist regime's purported dominance in military and defense operations. 

Despite the Zionist regime's advancements in military and security measures, the general noted its failure to achieve stated objectives in Gaza over seven months, despite relentless bombings.

Regarding Iran's military prowess, General Sharif asserted continuous efforts to strengthen the country since the Iran-Iraq War in the late 1980s, under the guidance of the revolutionary leadership.

In conclusion, the general reiterated Iran's victory over the defense systems of prominent countries supporting the Zionist regime during Operation True Promise.
