Key points:
"U.S. Backs Israeli Ceasefire Violations"
Accused Washington of enabling Israel’s breaches of the Lebanon ceasefire deal.
"No Normalization with Israel"
Firmly rejected any diplomatic reconciliation, calling it a "betrayal of Palestinian resistance."
"Ready for Peace or War"
Hezbollah remains prepared for both defense and conflict, depending on Israeli actions.
Praise for Allies
Iran’s Role: Credited Ayatollah Khamenei’s "courage and leadership" for countering Israel’s regional ambitions.
Yemen’s Resistance: Saluted Yemen’s Ansarullah leader Abdulmalik al-Houthi and the Yemeni people for their "honorable stand."
Between the lines:
The speech underscores Hezbollah’s alignment with the "Axis of Resistance," rejecting U.S.-brokered deals.
Qassem’s message (Hezbollah's readiness for peace and defense) may signal openness to calibrated deterrence, but no concessions.
The bottom line:
Hezbollah remains entrenched in its anti-Israel, anti-U.S. posture, with regional allies firmly in its corner.
