Lebanon’s Hezbollah on Monday welcomed the selection of Mojtaba Khamenei as Iran’s new supreme leader, pledging allegiance after his predecessor and father Ali Khamenei was killed in US-Israeli attacks.
– “We in Hezbollah extend our warmest congratulations and blessings on this occasion.”
– “We renew our pledge of loyalty to this blessed approach and our steadfastness on the path of allegiance,” the Iran-backed group said in a statement.
– Hezbollah entered the Middle East war a week ago by attacking Israel in response to Ali Khamenei’s killing.
