**Iran’s Larijani Pushes Hezbollah to Rebuild in Warning to Israel and the U.S.**
In recent developments, Iran is sending clear signals that the passing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah does not mean the Islamic Republic will reduce its support for the group. Instead, new leaders—“new Nasrallahs”—will arise, ensuring Hezbollah remains a formidable force.
Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Secretary, Ali Larijani, emphasized this message following his meeting with Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri in Beirut, Lebanon, on August 13, 2025. Larijani’s remarks indicate Tehran’s commitment to backing Hezbollah in the aftermath of Nasrallah’s death, serving as a warning to both Israel and the United States.
