Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf has praised the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah for its successful operation against the Israeli regime’s sensitive military and espionage sites.

Qalibaf made the remarks in a post on his X account on Sunday after the resistance movement fired hundreds of rockets and drones toward the Israeli-occupied territories in retaliation for the assassination of Fuad Shukr, a senior Hezbollah commander, in an Israeli airstrike on a building in the southern Beirut suburb of Dahieh on July 30.

Lebanon’s al-Mayadeen television news channel, citing reliable information, reported that Hezbollah’s large drone and rocket strike against the occupied territories was carried out accurately and effectively.

Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah also called the retaliatory strikes “Arbaeen Operation.”

In his post, Qalibaf sent his greetings to Hezbollah fighters and the resilient people of Lebanon, particularly in Dahieh.

“The Zionist regime’s defeat today was equal to its defeat in the 2006 operation,” Qalibaf said, referring to a 33-day war between Hezbollah and Israel.

Israel launched the full-scale military offensive against Lebanon on July 12, 2006, but Hezbollah fighters defeated the regime’s military and forced it to retreat without achieving any of its objectives.
