Iran’s President-elect Masoud Pezeshkian has reaffirmed his administration's commitment to bolstering resistance forces throughout West Asia. In a message to Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, Secretary-General of Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement, Pezeshkian expressed his gratitude for Nasrallah's congratulatory message following his victory in the July 5 presidential runoff. Pezeshkian emphasised that Iran's support for the Axis of Resistance is deeply embedded in the nation's core policies, reflecting the principles established by the late Imam Khomeini and the directives of Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei. This stance is a continuation of Iran’s longstanding position of opposing the Zionist entity and backing the resistance and resilience of regional populations.

In a dramatic and provocative letter, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei addressed American university students on Thursday, commending their "defense of the Palestinian people" amidst a surge of pro-Palestinian protests on U.S. campuses. His message, "Do not oppress and do not be oppressed," came at a time of heightened tensions and safety concerns for Jewish students.
Khamenei's letter, released during a wave of campus protests demanding a ceasefire in Gaza and divestment from companies with ties to Israel, criticised the U.S. government's support for Israel. He framed the students' activism as part of a larger "Resistance Front" against Zionist oppression, calling Israel's treatment of Palestinians a continuation of "decades of genocide and apartheid." He declared, "As the page of history is turning, you are standing on the right side of it."
