Potential Lebanon truce result of Hezbollah, Axis of Resistance's persistent struggle: Qalibaf
The speaker of Majlis (Iran's Parliament) says the emergence of a potential ceasefire in Lebanon will be down to the persistent struggle put up by Hezbollah and other members of the regional Axis of Resistance.
"The completion and consolidation of a comprehensive ceasefire in Lebanon will be the result of the resistance and steadfast struggle of the great Hezbollah and the unity of the Axis of Resistance," Mohammad-Baqer Qalibaf wrote in a post on X on Tuesday.
The remarks came amid Hezbollah's successive and decisive retaliatory strikes against sensitive Israeli military targets and illegal settlements in the northern part of the occupied territories.

 The counterstrikes have been aimed at countering the Israeli regime's incessant violations of a 2024 ceasefire agreement with Hezbollah, as part of which Tel Aviv was supposed to end its deadly escalation targeting Lebanon.
Iran has stressed that the realization of a comprehensive ceasefire in Lebanon is an indivisible part of the ceasefire agreement that ended the unprovoked American-Israeli aggression against the Islamic Republic last Wednesday.Â

Hours after Iran and the US announced a ceasefire ending 40 days of aggression against the Islamic Republic, the Israeli regime violated the truce last Wednesday morning by launching devastating strikes on civilian areas across Lebanon.
In response, the Hezbollah resistance movement launched a series of retaliatory strikes a day after, targeting multiple Israeli military and strategic installations.
The retaliatory operations continued with full intensity on Wednesday, April 15, as the Israeli regime continued to target civilian areas in Lebanon, particularly in South Lebanon.
"Resistance and Iran are one soul, both in war and in ceasefire," Qalibaf stated.
He noted that the United States was obliged to abide by any potential ceasefire in Lebanon, and "withdraw from 'Israel First' mistake," referring to Washington's invariable policy of rendering all-out support for Tel Aviv's deadly aggression and occupation targeting the region.
