“The Lebanese people and Islamic resistance should be prepared for all possibilities,” Ayatollah Khamenei mentioned, adding, “Of course, the spirit and political vigilance of the Lebanese people and Islamic resistance as well as their supporters in the world of Islam are much higher than what existed prior to the 33-day war.”

He also viewed the holding of the Tehran conference of the Association of the Asian Parliaments as a valuable move.
For his part, Lebanese Parliament Speaker, Nabih Berri said that the victory of his people and the Islamic resistance during the 33 days of the Israeli invasion of that country is indebted to the resistance and brevity of the youth against the military aggression of the Zionist regime as well as the unity and solidarity of the Lebanese people and their strong support for the Islamic Resistance and the unity among all Islamic resistance groups.
He said the victory of the Lebanese people proved that strong faith is more efficient and effective than any other weapon.
The Lebanese top legislative official further briefed the Supreme Leader about the crimes of the Zionist regime in Lebanon, and criticized the western countries and international circles and bodies for their silence in the face of Israeli crimes in Lebanon.
He also pointed out that God Almighty foiled the malicious intentions of those who sought to play a trick on the Middle-East, adding that recent developments are a prelude to the imminent demise and destruction of the US empire.
Berri also underlined that the triumph of the Lebanese nation and Islamic resistance during the 33-day war has played an influential role in the recent defeat of the Republican party in the US midterm legislative elections.
He further appreciated the spiritual supports and aids extended by the Islamic Republic of Iran to the Lebanese people, and stressed, “Although the United States and Zionist regime are striving to block Iran’s spiritual influence in the region, the Islamic Republic of Iran will be the main power in the region’s new era.”
