The Hezbollah resistance movement has called upon thousands of its supporters to stage a mass rally in Lebanon in a show of solidarity with Iran, and to express their strong protest against threats against Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei.
According to a report published by the Lebanese al-Manar television station, the group urged people from all strata of the Lebanese society to gather at Sayyid al-Shuhada Complex in the southern suburbs of Beirut on Monday afternoon.
Hezbollah expressed its solidarity with the Islamic Republic of Iran, its wise leadership, and the noble nation in the face of the US-Israeli sabotage and acts of terror.
The group also categorically denounced threats against Ayatollah Khamenei.
Late last month, economic hardships, caused and exacerbated by years of Western sanctions, triggered a wave of peaceful protests among merchants in Tehran and other cities.
Authorities recognized the protesters' demands as legitimate, but the demonstrations were hijacked by rioters backed by American and Israeli leaders, who publicly called for vandalism and disorder.
Officials said that some of the mercenaries were armed, trained, and recruited by US and Israeli spy agencies to incite violence, damage public property, and kill civilians and members of security forces.
In a post on his account on the social media platform X on Friday, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi highlighted the destruction of public property during the foreign-backed unrest that also left thousands dead.
“Mayhem of the recent terrorist operation in Iran: (destruction of) 305 ambulances and buses; 24 gas stations; 700 convenience stores; 300 private homes; 750 banks; 414 government buildings; 794police stations; 120 Basij centers; 200 schools; 350 mosques; 15 libraries; 2 Armenian churches; 253 bus stations; 600 ATTs; 800 private cars; Total death toll: 3,117: Civilians and security forces: 2,427; Terrorists: 690,” Araghchi said.
