TEHRAN – In an interview with Iran's national television on Friday, the Iranian ambassador to Lebanon discussed Israel’s ongoing attacks against the Arab country, describing them as flawed and based on miscalculations. 

Mojtaba Amani, recently injured during Israeli pager attacks in Lebanon, is currently in Tehran receiving treatment. During his Friday interview, Amani offered condolences on the martyrdom of Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyad Hassan Nasrallah, who was assassinated by an Israeli airstrike a few days after the Iranian envoy’s injury.  

Amani emphasized that Israel is mistaken in believing it can defeat Hezbollah, noting that while Resistance groups may have to adapt their military strategies, they will never be eliminated. 

The Iranian diplomat further remarked that the Zionist regime is deeply entangled in the war it’s waging in Gaza, where it has slaughtered tens of thousands of civilians without achieving any military victories. He pointed out that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu aims to escalate the conflict in Gaza to include Lebanon and potentially Iran as a means to consolidate his power.

The envoy also highlighted that Hezbollah would persist in its operations with effective strategies, leading to the eventual decline and downfall of the Zionist regime. He concluded by affirming that “Hezbollah is alive” and that “ultimate triumph belongs to the Resistance Axis.”
