Beirut [Lebanon], June 20: Lebanon's Hezbollah militia on Thursday described threats on the life of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as "absurd and foolish" and likely to result in catastrophic consequences.
In its statement, the Iran-backed Shiite group said that such threats from Israel and United States represented an insult to hundreds of millions of Muslims and supporters of what it termed the "resistance" against Israel.
Hezbollah, which was badly weakened by Israeli attacks last year, said it was "more determined than ever" to support Khamenei's leadership and backed Iran in its struggle with Israel and the US. Hezbollah has thus far largely stayed out of the current conflict between Iran and Israel that began with Israeli airstrikes on Iran on Friday. (DPA)
