What they said سعيد خطيب زادة ×

They are working day and night to develop and strengthen our defensive capabilities. As politicians, we do not interfere with them. I think Washington will be surprised, not only by our ability to withstand, but by the response to aggression through strikes against the Americans; I expect it will be a surprise to them.

For our part, we keep our hands on the trigger to respond to any targeting of us, and we will not remain silent about Israel if it decides to support Washington.

You are not required to intervene to help us. We have the strength and resilience against aggression that allows us alone to defend our land, and we will not agree to end the war and consolidate the ceasefire unless it includes Lebanon and opens the door to implementing the provisions of the Iranian-American memorandum of understanding.

that Tehran will never abandon its allies in Lebanon and leave them alone in a battle they have been fighting for years, and it is not, as some promote, in the business of trading them away

There is no point in negotiating, and we are preparing for the worst possibilities; direct negotiations between Lebanon and Israel will not reach a result, because the latter is a usurping entity and wants to use the negotiations as a preliminary step to expand its hegemony over the region.

He conveyed his best wishes to the Lebanese people and to Lebanon

This kind of exchange of visits between the two countries is the least that can be expected within the framework of bilateral relations, not only to exchange views but also to better enhance coordination between us

I carried the best wishes to the Lebanese people and to Lebanon, this great country with which we have historical friendly relations at all levels
