Hezbollah Celebrates Iran's Victory in Beirut: Israeli War Aimed at Controlling Entire Middle East
Addressing Hezbollah ceremony held next to the Iranian embassy in Beirut to celebrate the victory of the Islamic Republic over the US-Zionist war, MP Raad indicated that the occupation entity wished it could impose hegemony over the entire Middle East by using its available capabilities.
MP Raad affirmed that the Islamic Republic derived its strength from God alone, and He is the One who granted it victory, underlining the role of the courageous divine leader in reaching the victory.
Hezbollah lawmaker also hailed the capable and brave armed forces in Iran, greeting the Iranian public which assumed responsibility during the war.
MP Raad emphasized that Iran has become a regional force of deterrence, adding that its steadfastness bent the arm of the Zionist enemy.
Meanwhile, MP Raad affirmed that 'this country is protected by its sons, not the sponsors of the Zionist aggression'.
Palestine will be the central cause, and 'Israel' cannot survive in this region, MP Raad concluded.
On June 13, 2025, the Israeli enemy started a barbaric war on the Islamic Republic of Iran under the pretext of eradicating its nuclear program. However, the Iranian Armed Forces bravely confronted the aggression and fired hundreds of ballistic missiles and combat drones, killing or injuring thousands of Israelis. The Iranian strikes also left 1100 homeless as it caused massive destruction in Tel Aviv, Haifa and other occupied cities.

Rifi threatens to take to the streets against Hezbollah
Tripoli MP Ashraf Rifi threatened to take to the streets against Hezbollah if the party decides to confront the Lebanese domestic scene, he said in remarks to MTV. "I warn Naim Qassem against a reckless choice for which he will pay the price. We will confront you in the streets if we have to defend ourselves and we are capable of doing so," Rifi said, calling to "cut ties with Iran." Last Friday, Hezbollah's Secretary-General Naim Qassem reiterated warnings to the Salam government and President Joseph Aoun, stating that Hezbollah was ready for confrontation if disarmament were imposed on it. These statements prompted widespread criticism from several political officials. Softening Qassem's comments, Hezbollah's vice president of the political council, Mahmoud Qomati, said Saturday that the party was not "in an internal Lebanese confrontation," but that "the weapons of the resistance cannot be surrendered during occupation." The Salam government adopted at the beginning of August the roadmap proposed by U.S. envoy Tom Barrack, which calls for the disarmament of armed groups — including Hezbollah — before the end of the year. The Israeli army continues to occupy five areas in southern Lebanon and carries out almost daily strikes in the country, despite the cease-fire that went into effect on Nov. 27, 2024, between Hezbollah and Israel.

Monopoly on weapons: No one wants a confrontation with the Lebanese Army, Mitri says
Deputy Prime Minister Tarek Mitri said Sunday in an interview with Al Jazeera that the government is working towards having only state authorities to control weapons, but disagreements remain on how to achieve the goal. He also urged avoiding 'accusations of treason, intimidation and threats.' His remarks followed a speech Friday by Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem, who escalated threats against Prime Minister Nawaf Salam's government, warning that Hezbollah was ready for confrontation if forced to disarm. Mitri said all ministers agreed on the state's monopoly over weapons, but differed on how to implement and manage the issue. He stressed that discussions were ongoing on how to approach Hezbollah's disarmament, according to Al Jazeera. He added that the government wanted to safeguard civil peace and that no one sought a confrontation with the Lebanese Army, which is due to present its weapons control plan to Cabinet at the end of August. Addressing the wider political debate, Mitri said, 'We should instead discuss how to put an end to Israeli aggressions and avoid internal divisions.' Qassem's remarks Friday — in which he declared Hezbollah would not surrender its weapons and was prepared for confrontation if forced to do so — drew sharp reactions from across the political spectrum. Seeking to temper the rhetoric, Hezbollah political council deputy chief Mahmoud Qomati said Saturday that the party was not 'in an internal Lebanese confrontation,' but insisted that 'the weapons of the resistance cannot be handed over during an occupation.' At the beginning of August, Salam's government adopted the roadmap of U.S. envoy Tom Barrack, which calls for the disarmament of armed groups, mainly Hezbollah, by the end of the year. The Israeli army, meanwhile, continues to occupy five hills in southern Lebanon and carries out near-daily strikes despite the cease-fire that took effect Nov. 27, 2024. Iranian pressure Mitri said implementation of the disarmament plan is hampered by both internal and external pressures. He noted that Iran is pushing for Hezbollah to retain its weapons, while Western countries are pressing for disarmament. He urged that Lebanon's interests be safeguarded and called for wisdom in handling the issue. He recalled that the previous government approved security arrangements under French and U.S. auspices on Nov. 27, 2024, to end the 13-month war between Hezbollah and Israel. Those measures, he said, were endorsed by all ministers, including Hezbollah and Amal representatives. Mitri added that the American roadmap recently adopted by the Cabinet reaffirmed the cessation of hostilities.
