**Iran’s Larijani Pushes Hezbollah to Rebuild in Warning to Israel and the US**
*Analysis: Iran is sending signals that Nasrallah’s passing does not mean it cannot back Hezbollah. Instead, new “Nasrallahs” will arise.*
Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Secretary Ali Larijani recently met with Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri in Beirut, Lebanon, on August 13, 2025. Following this meeting, Larijani emphasized the importance of rebuilding Hezbollah, sending a clear warning to Israel and the United States.
Despite concerns that the passing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah might weaken the group, Iran indicates that it intends to continue its support and backing. The message is that new leaders will emerge to carry forward Hezbollah’s cause.
