Hezbollah's Deputy Political Council Head warned the Lebanese government it must apologize to the resistance or face a government-collapsing popular uprising following the ongoing war.
Amid expanding regional warfare—including a limited Israeli ground operation in southern Lebanon launched earlier this week—a senior Hezbollah official has issued a severe ultimatum to the Lebanese government.
According to آخرین خبر, an Iranian news aggregator, Mahmoud Qamati, Deputy Head of Hezbollah's Political Council, outlined Hezbollah's domestic demands during an interview with the Al Jadeed network. The report was also widely circulated by the hardline Iranian daily روزنامه وطن امروز and the IRGC-affiliated فارس بینالملل و سیاست خارجی, reflecting a unified messaging effort across Iranian state-aligned media.
Qamati declared that once the resistance emerges victorious and imposes superior conditions upon the enemy, the Lebanese government will be forced to choose between two paths. The state must either apologize to the Lebanese people and the resistance and retreat from its decisions, or face a popular tsunami. Qamati warned this uprising would lead to the government's collapse and the total forfeiture of its legitimacy.
Addressing the broader conflict, which currently involves massive Israeli and US strikes on Iranian military and energy assets, Qamati insisted that Iran's victory is absolute. He stated that this certain triumph will dictate the trajectory of the entire axis of resistance. Moving forward, the regional developments spanning Palestine, Gaza, Syria, and Lebanon will be bound to the exact conditions Iran imposes following its victory in the current war.
The messages originate from Iranian state-aligned and hardline media, uniformly amplifying Hezbollah's rhetoric without detailing the specific Lebanese government 'decisions' Qamati is demanding an apology for. The framing strictly aligns with the 'axis of resistance' terminology.
