Spotlight on Iran

Following the election of Masoud Pezeshkian as president of Iran, there has been a marked Iranian effort to emphasize Iran’s commitment to continued support for the “resistance front” it leads: the Iranian media has highlighted the message of support sent by the president-elect to Hezbollah’s secretary-general, in which he stressed Iran’s continued support for Hezbollah and the “resistance” in the region against Israel; The Iranian ambassador to Lebanon declared that Iran would continue to support the “resistance” and the Palestinians under any circumstances, as it had done since the Islamic Revolution.
