Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has assured that the Islamic Republic will continue to support Hezbollah and its network of proxies, stating that the regime will not abandon movements seeking rights and freedom. This commitment comes amid ongoing negotiations between the US and Iran, where Lebanon has emerged as a critical issue. Araghchi highlighted that a ceasefire in Lebanon is a key term in any potential agreement with the US, despite the war being primarily fought by Israel against Hezbollah. Experts suggest that abandoning support for Hezbollah would be politically detrimental for Iran, as it would signal weakness to both allies and adversaries. However, Iran's ability to provide military support has diminished, leading to a reliance on alternative financial methods, such as crypto-payments. The situation has escalated tensions, with Hezbollah's recent actions prompting new Israeli legislation aimed at demilitarizing the group. Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Netanyahu, have voiced strong opposition to any agreements that may compromise Israel's security, emphasizing the need to protect its northern borders against Hezbollah threats.
