Iran's Ghalibaf: Hezbollah fought for Iran

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has framed Hezbollah's recent conflict with Israel as an action taken on behalf of Iran. He stated that while Hezbollah has fought Israel for years, the recent war was started by Hezbollah specifically for the sake of the Islamic Republic. Ghalibaf claimed the broader 'resistance front' came to Iran's aid, directly linking Lebanese militant actions to Iranian strategic interests. This statement reinforces Iran's narrative of regional proxy coordination and its central role in the conflict.
