Speaking during a ceremony on Tuesday, Sheikh Naim Qassem congratulated the Iranian nation, government and Leader over the anniversary of the 1979 Islamic Revolution.

“Iran is the crown jewel of the world. It will endure and can defeat the United States and Israel in the confrontation currently underway, because anyone who stands with Almighty God is bound to be victorious,” he said.

Turning to developments in Lebanon, he said the country was no longer obliged to implement provisions of last year's ceasefire agreement with Israel, adding that a five-member monitoring committee should press Israel to comply with the deal rather than exerting pressure on Lebanon.
