Iran's IRGC: Epic Funeral of S. Nasrallah, S. Safeiddine Manifestation of Hezbollah Vitality
The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) in Iran said the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah will resolutely continue the path of ending the occupation.
It came a day after the funeral ceremony of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, the late leader of Hezbollah, and his deputy and appointed successor Sayyed Hashem Safeiddine in Beirut, where massive crowds from various regions of Lebanon and around the world converged to bid farewell to the two resistance leaders.
In a statement on Monday, the IRGC said the funeral, held amid the threatening moves by the Israeli regime's fighter jets, has turned into a 'global echo of anti-Zionist resistance.'
'This great historical event in the Muslim world and in Beirut demonstrated that Hezbollah, the heroic and victorious Resistance of Lebanon, and the Islamic Ummah continue to move forward with vitality, strength, and determination to dismantle the occupation of al-Quds al-Sharif and Islamic lands,' the statement read.
It described the 'glorious and epic' funeral procession for the two Hezbollah icons in Beirut as a manifestation of the vitality of Hezbollah and the doctrine of anti-Zionist resistance of the Islamic Ummah.
'The ceremony, which was attended by millions of enthusiastic mourners, amid the humiliating and threatening actions of the Israeli fighter jets, became a manifestation of Islam's power and Lebanon's comprehensive national unity as well as globalization of anti-Zionist resistance contrary to the enemies' wishes and evil desires,' the statement emphasized.

Gaza Faces Unyielding Assault Amid Global Silence
As the 615th day of relentless Israeli aggression unfolds, Israeli occupation forces continue their devastating campaign in the Gaza Strip, employing aerial bombardments and artillery strikes that exacerbate the humanitarian crisis for the region's starving and displaced population. This aggression persists with backing from American political and military support, while the international community remains largely inactive. Reports from Gaza indicate that numerous airstrikes have been launched, resulting in additional civilian casualties as the plight of over two million displaced individuals intensifies under worsening famine conditions. In the early hours of the morning, amid the darkness, residents in northern Gaza struggle to reach aid distribution centers to receive desperately needed flour amid the ongoing Israeli war of hunger. All of the border crossings leading to Gaza have been sealed off by Israel… — Quds News Network (@QudsNen) June 12, 2025 Gaza Ministry of Health has confirmed multiple fatalities due to Israeli airstrikes across the territory since early morning. Among the victims were three individuals who lost their lives when Israeli occupation forces targeted a tent sheltering displaced families in the Mawasi area of Khan Yunis. Among those killed were Abdul Wahab Abu Haddaf, his wife, and their child. A medical source reported that 13 people were martyred and around 200 injured when Israeli occupation forces opened fire on civilians awaiting aid near Netzarim in southern Gaza. The bodies of a woman and her child were also recovered following an airstrike on Abasan al-Kabira, east of Khan Yunis. With heartbreak and tears, a Palestinian mother says a final goodbye to her son who was shot dead by Israeli occupation forces as he waited for food aid at Al-Nabulsi roundabout in western Gaza City. — Quds News Network (@QudsNen) June 11, 2025 Reports of further injuries emerged as a child was wounded during an attack on tents housing displaced individuals in the Al-Mawasi region. At Al-Awda Hospital in Nuseirat, four people were confirmed dead, with over 100 others—many of them children and women—injured due to Israeli drone strikes on civilian gatherings near an aid distribution point at the so-called 'Netzarim checkpoint.' As dawn broke, Israeli aircraft targeted the Al-Mawasi area once again. Furthermore, a martyr was reported at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, having succumbed to injuries from gunfire while waiting for aid near Netzarim. In its latest statistics, the Ministry of Health announced that the death toll from the Zionist aggression had risen to 50,052 martyrs and 114,000 injuries.

Le Drian returns to Beirut, revives French role in Lebanon's crisis
Report by Toni Mrad, English adaptation by Mariella Succar France — often referred to as Lebanon's 'tender mother' — has renewed its diplomatic engagement in the country through the return of presidential envoy Jean-Yves Le Drian. One of Le Drian's most notable meetings took place away from the media spotlight with Mohammad Raad, head of Hezbollah's parliamentary bloc, Loyalty to the Resistance. According to information obtained by LBCI, the talks were described as positive. During the meeting, Raad emphasized that the key to stability in Lebanon lies in halting Israeli attacks and ensuring a full Israeli withdrawal from Lebanese territory — goals that require strong international pressure, particularly from guarantor countries such as France and the United States. On the issue of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), Raad affirmed that Hezbollah supports the extension of the peacekeeping mission under the terms of U.N. Security Council Resolution 1701 — a position aligned with the stance of Lebanon's three top officials. While Le Drian heard Hezbollah's views, he, in turn, stressed the importance of advancing reforms — particularly the banking restructuring law and legislation addressing the financial gap. According to sources, he received support for moving forward on these key reforms. Le Drian also discussed these issues — along with the question of ensuring the state's exclusive control over arms — in meetings with several Lebanese political figures, including MPs Michel Douaihy and Fouad Makhzoumi, Free Patriotic Movement leader Gebran Bassil, Kataeb Party leader Samy Gemayel, and Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea. But the broader question remains: What real and effective role can France play in Lebanon? And is it capable of easing pressure from Saudi Arabia and the United States, both of which place Hezbollah's disarmament at the forefront of their demands? What can be said is that Paris appears to be trying to revive the reform agenda, which has taken a backseat to the issue of weapons. Whether France will succeed in this effort remains to be seen. France's role may be more impactful when it comes to the extension of UNIFIL's mandate in southern Lebanon. In addition to being a permanent member of the U.N. Security Council, France also holds the role of "penholder" — responsible for drafting Council resolutions and statements, including those related to Lebanon. Since Le Drian's last visit to Beirut, France has managed to reopen discussions on UNIFIL ahead of the renewal deadline in late August — a renewal that this year coincides with a rise in tensions and incidents involving the international force. In the end, France — through Le Drian — appears once again not only to be offering assistance to Lebanon, but also working to reinforce its presence and role on the Lebanese stage.
