Hezbollah to Respond to Attack, Calls for Retaliation Against US and Israel

Hezbollah announced it will respond to the attack that led to the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, emphasizing it will fulfill its duty to confront the aggression of the US and Israel. The organization's leader, Naim Qassem, assured that Hezbollah will not abandon the field of resistance, regardless of the sacrifices. Despite the announcement, Hezbollah has not yet taken direct military action. The organization has scheduled a rally in Beirut in support of Iran and is calling for memorial ceremonies for Khamenei. Meanwhile, North Korea condemned the strikes as illegal, characterizing them as evidence of the “gangster-like nature” of the US.
