The statement adds: "This regime, with the explicit and comprehensive support of the United States, is committing massacres, atrocities, and destruction, and for this reason, Washington bears full responsibility for the massacres, atrocities, and suffering."
Hezbollah emphasized: "We believe that this blatant attack on the national sovereignty of Iran and the dear Islamic Republic of Iran will never affect its firm and clear stance and full support at various levels for the people of Palestine and Lebanon."

We also extend our condolences to the leadership and the people of the Islamic Republic for the martyrdom of their forces."
