Hezbollah Resurfaces After Absence During Iran War, Vowing to ‘Never Bow Down’Frances Martel 1 Jul 2025
The Lebanon-based Iranian proxy terrorist organization Hezbollah held multiple events on Monday in solidarity with Tehran, declaring that it would continue in the “just and divinely inspired battle” against Israel and America.
“Israel is criminal, and America is tyrannical. We have the right to say ‘No’ to both,” Sheikh Naim Qassem, the head of the terrorist organization, declared, according to the Iranian propaganda website PressTV.
Hezbollah operates in Lebanon with the veneer of a political party, but in reality serves as a proxy terrorist organization for Iran that threatens Israel and functions as a bridge between Tehran and rogue state allies such as Venezuela and Cuba. At its peak in the last decade, Hezbollah had constructed a formidable drug trafficking operation in Latin America; at home, Hezbollah operatives benefited from a deal offering them authentic, but unwarranted, Venezuelan legal documents such as passports and birth certificates.
The jihadist terror group was once the strongest member of Iran’s “Axis of Resistance,” a global network of terrorist organizations funded by Tehran’s largess. The State Department estimated in 2020 that Iran was funding Hezbollah to the tune of $700 million a year, compared to $100 million a year for Gaza’s terrorist Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) groups combined. Hezbollah was among the first groups to come to the aid of another Iranian proxy terror group, Hamas, following the latter’s gruesome siege of Israel on October 7, 2023.
