Quds Force Chief: Lebanon Truce Result of Hezbollah’s Steadfast Resistance, Iran’s Support
The commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Quds Force says Hezbollah’s steadfast resistance, with support from Iran, was the decisive factor behind the upcoming ceasefire in Lebanon.
In a statement on Thursday, General Esmaeil Qa’ani said the people of Lebanon and the region know full well that the victorious force on the decisive battlefield is the heroic Hezbollah.
“If a ceasefire is achieved, it is the result of the steadfast resistance of Lebanon and the support of the Islamic Republic of Iran,” General Qa’ani said.
The IRGC Quds Force commander also warned against those seeking to humiliate the Lebanese nation, emphasizing that Hezbollah’s resistance against the Zionist regime and its American backers has proven that humiliation is impossible.
“Some seek to impose humiliation upon the dignified people of Lebanon, but Hezbollah’s resistance proves that humiliation is impossible,” he noted.
The message underscores Iran’s continued support for the Axis of Resistance and reaffirms its position that the ceasefire — set to take effect at midnight — represents a strategic victory for Hezbollah and Lebanon, achieved through resilience and sacrifice.
US President Donald Trump announced the ceasefire during a White House address on Thursday, saying the truce would take effect at midnight Lebanon time.
A Lebanese parliamentarian from the Loyalty to the Resistance bloc confirmed that a ceasefire will begin Thursday night, describing the agreement as the result of Iranian diplomatic efforts.
Hassan Fadlallah, a member of the Lebanese parliament, said Iranian authorities will monitor US compliance with its commitments under the agreement, adding that the resumption of Iran-US negotiations is contingent upon the implementation of these commitments.
Fadlallah also stressed that Hezbollah’s adherence to the ceasefire depends on a complete halt to the enemy’s aggressive actions against the Lebanese people.
Hours after Iran and the United States announced a ceasefire ending 40 days of aggression against the Islamic Republic, the Israeli regime violated the truce last Wednesday by launching devastating strikes on civilian areas across Lebanon.
The cessation of attacks on all fronts, including in Lebanon, was one of the key points of the 10-point Iranian proposal that was initially accepted by the American side.
In response, the Hezbollah resistance movement has carried out a series of retaliatory strikes, targeting multiple Israeli military and strategic installations.
