Ali Larijani, the new head of the Iranian Shoura Council, praised Hezbollah for achieving aspects of the teachings of Imam Khomeini and for defending the Wiliayat Al-Faqih (Guardianship of the Jurist).

“Hezbollah’s secretary general, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, in his capacity as Khomeini’s spiritual son is viewed as the resistance’s impregnable fort against Israel and the US,” Larijani said in his first speech in front of Iran’s MPs.

“We consider this regional political victory [achieved by Nasrallah] in Lebanon as the beginning of bigger victories,” he added.

He also described the statements issued by Hezbollah as courageous, good and emanating from the Islamic Revolution.
