Naim Qassem, the leader of Hezbollah, described the recent agreement between the United States and Iran as a "declaration of defeat" for both Washington and Israel. He made these statements following a ceasefire that this agreement facilitated, which has led to reduced hostilities in Lebanon. Qassem emphasized the need for the "unconditional" withdrawal of Israeli forces from Lebanon, asserting that the initial intentions of the U.S. and Israel were to initiate a significant conflict to eliminate Hezbollah's presence.
The comments came in the wake of the agreement signed the previous week, which Hezbollah claims has shifted the dynamics of power in the region. Qassem criticized the past strategies of the U.S. and Israel, suggesting that their failures have resulted in a new reality that diminishes their influence and calls into question their long-term objectives in the region.
