Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian says the appointment of Naim Qassem to succeed Hassan Nasrallah as Hezbollah chief will “strengthen” the resistance.
Pezeshkian expresses confidence that Qassem’s appointment “will strengthen the will of the resistance,” while hoping for “the cessation of aggression by the illegal Zionist regime and the establishment of peace, tranquillity and security in Gaza, Lebanon, and the entire region,” according to his website.
