Hope and Enthusiasm Re-embrace Palestine and Lebanon after the Leader’s Message

Although the speech of deputy Hezbollah chief Sheikh Naim Qassem after assassination of Hezbollah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah who stressed that Hezbollah will continue to firmly defend the Lebanese sovereignty against the Israeli incursion and that at the end of the road it is the resistance that comes out of this conflict victorious restored morale to the resistance, his stance was inadequate and for boosting the ironclad resolution of the Resistance camp and the people of the region there was a need for a larger-scale assurance from the leader of the Axis of Resistance, something that showed itself in the address of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei in the Friday prayer. 

A part of the Leader's remarks, addressed to the people of Lebanon and Palestine in Arabic, sent the message that the Islamic Republic has never abandoned them and if the Israeli regime continues its crimes, Iran will, without delay or haste, in the proper time and place respond the enemy. 

Stepping up their military campaign and simultaneously psychological warfare, the Israeli leaders in recent weeks tried to dismay the people of Lebanon and Hezbollah fighters and pretend that Hezbollah does not have the ability to defend them and that they need to put pressure on the resistance movement to close its northern front against Israel before it is too late. In this desperate condition, the remarks of the Iranian leader provide a kind of comfort to the people of Palestine and Lebanon, telling that Tehran is not inattentive of them and defends them with all its power. 

The people of Palestine and Lebanon have now come up with the belief that the leader of the Axis of Resistance supports them under any conditions and will not allow the enemy to implement its evil plans in the Muslim countries. 

The fact that the Leader said that the people of Lebanon and Palestine have pushed the Israeli regime to the brink of collapse and now pillars of its existence are shaky showed that the resistance has made many gains and has managed to ground the Israeli enemy just contrary to the Israeli allegations of victory. 

Sheikh Naim Qassem's words that Hezbollah will soon name the successor of Nasrallah and expand the range of operations against the occupied territories had an impact on the battlefield in Gaza, and on Friday the Israeli officials admitted that after two months, rocket attacks have resumed from Gaza to Israeli settlements.

Therefore, the remarks of the Leader as the guidance of the resistance officials will influence the battlefield even more so that the people of Palestine and Lebanon will be sure that the final victory is theirs. 

It is said that Nasrallah years ago in a meeting attended by Iranian commanders told a memory of his meeting with the Leader from 1996 when Ayatollah Khamenei told the Lebanese resistance fighters that Hezbollah will soon score a big victory over Israel. This foresight was doubted by Nasrallah, he said, but after the resistance movement pushed Israeli occupation out of southern Lebanon in 2000, he gained faith in the promise of the Leader. 

Therefore, the recent remarks of the Leader who promised victory over Israel will defenitely materialize in the future. Given the state of instability the occupied territories are grappling with, the promise is not far from materialization and even Israeli officials have several times said that Israel may not see its 80th anniversary. 

Operation True Promise a support to the resistance 

In the past two months, some experts and Israeli officials interpreted the strategic patience of the Islamic Republic in revenge for Hamas’s Ismail Haniyeh assassination as a sign of weakness, but launching of over 200 long-range and hypersonic missiles at the occupied territories on Tuesday ended all the doubts and speculations. 

The Leader's promise of support for the people of Lebanon and Palestine was also driven by the recent missile operation, which showed that Iran has the capability to reach all the occupied territories and is not afraid of a full-scale war, but it gives its response in a calculated and accurate manner to draw the largest impact. 

The Leader's remarks that the attacks of the Israeli regime on Lebanon and the assassination of the commanders will not lead to the surrender of Hezbollah injected boost into the fighters who after Nasrallah assassination grew worried, encouraging them to firmly confront the enemy and as ever count on Iran's political and military support. 

Although the Israeli military has relative advantage over the Axis of Resistance in terms of intelligence and advanced technologies, its gains are highly different from a strategic victory, and the assassination of the commanders and leaders of the resistance, no matter how painful and effective, do not match the real achievements of the resistance on the ground, nor do they tip the scales in favor of Tel Aviv. This is what the Leader pointed to when he said that the assassinations will not shake Hezbollah.

Running a campaign of assassination and bombardment, Israel has caused huge devastation in Lebanon and Gaza to spread terror among the people in a show of power. But the Leader who is aware of the covert aspects of this Israeli genocide has described the Israeli resorting to assassinations and devastation of houses not as a factor of power but a factor of weakness and fear. Such words injected new assurances into the Palestinian and Israeli nations and resistance fighters that Israel is teetering on the brink. 

The fact that the armed-to-the-teeth Israeli army has been desperate to make gains against Hezbollah and Hamas despite massive Western backing shows that the resistance is at its peak and has frightened its enemy. It is clear to everyone that Israel cannot fight for a long time as its economic, security, and political conditions disallow it to. So, involving the Israelis in a war of attrition from seven fronts will destroy Israel and this is what Iran's leader has promised the Palestinian and Lebanese nations about.

Signs of Israeli weakness have already showed themselves and the fact that Netanyahu has lost the political and military initiative against the resistance forces and even holds his security meetings in shelters do not just show a simple weakness, but also they actually reveal the shaking of the pillars of Israeli existence that is caught in security encirclement like a cat and is clawing everything for a way out.

So, the words of the Leader gave the Palestinian and Lebanese fighters every reason not to fear the Israeli occupation, since Iran stands with them under any circumstances. As the Operations True Promise I and II proved that Iran is not afraid to strike the occupied territories, if the need arises, it will strike again in a way larger scale and this deterrence will close the Israeli hands for further warmongering in Lebanon and Palestine, as Israeli leaders know that if they commit further crimes, the will pay a high price. According to the Leader, we are living in a time of madness caused by the US and Israel and response of the Resistance camp to the Israeli madness is fire for fire to force the enemy back.

Indeed, the Israeli regime and its allies are trying to expand their power and domination in the region and undermine the Axis of Resistance, but millions have heard the call of the Leader and are expecting victory over the Israeli occupation. As the fatwa of Grand Shiite authority Sayyed Ali al-Sistani mobilized the Iraqis and changed the fate of war against the ISIS terrorist group, the statements of the Leader will transform the anti-Israeli atmosphere in the region, and therefore, the fate of a regime more barbarous than ISIS will be nothing but collapse.
