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.
