Iran's supreme leader Khamenei replied to a letter from Hezbollah leader Naim
Qassem and his fighters, reaffirming that support for Hezbollah is a strategic
policy under the line established by the late supreme leader Khamenei. He said
Iran will defend Lebanon's territorial integrity and that a comprehensive,
unconditional end to Israeli military operations in Lebanon is the primary
precondition for any US-linked memorandum to end the conflict. Khamenei added
that people worldwide can no longer tolerate US and Israeli "oppression and
violence" and vowed to continue the resistance line.
