In the Name of God, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful

Dear Secretary General of Lebanon's Hezbollah

Peace be upon you, and may God bestow His mercy and blessings upon you

On the 17th anniversary of the victory in the 33-day war in 2006, I extend my congratulations to Your Excellency, fellow soldiers, and the resilient nation of Lebanon.

The resounding defeat of the Zionist regime in the 33-day war by the brave soldiers and the great children of Lebanon stands as a remarkable achievement and testament to the power of Islamic resistance. It marks a pivotal moment in the ongoing struggle against the occupation.

The Islamic Republic of Iran has consistently stood by Hezbollah and supported its resistance efforts. On the strength of the principle of supporting the resistance axis, the Islamic Republic of Iran will spare no effort in ensuring its upliftment, success, and grandeur until complete liberation from occupation and the eradication of Zionism.

I pray to the Almighty God to bless the souls of all honorable martyrs of Hezbollah and grant patience and reward to the dear veterans and their families. I wish health and further success, honor, and pride to Your Excellency and the people of Lebanon.

Hossein Amir-Abdollahian
