Iran Slams Israel Amid Netanyahu’s UN Walkout; Tehran Boosts Hezbollah Support with Regional Warnings

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has publicly denounced Israel, labeling it the “most despised and isolated regime in the world,” following a significant diplomatic walkout during Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s address to the United Nations General Assembly on Friday. Khamenei’s strong remarks, shared on X, coincided with a widely circulated photo of Netanyahu speaking to a largely empty hall, orchestrated by the Palestinian Authority and supported by numerous Arab, Muslim, African, Asian, and European nations.

Netanyahu’s UNGA speech, broadcast into Gaza via loudspeakers, fiercely criticized Western leaders for recognizing a Palestinian state and vowed that Israel would never accept a “terrorist state” forced upon it.

Adding to the escalating regional tensions, a top Iranian security official, Ali Larijani, arrived in Beirut on Saturday to attend the first anniversary of the assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. Larijani called for regional unity against what he termed “Israel’s conspiracies” and issued a stern warning against any new Israeli strikes on Iran, stating, “We are ready to face all scenarios, but I don’t think that the Israelis will behave in this stupid way. If they do that, they will receive strong retaliation.”

Thousands of Hezbollah supporters gathered at Nasrallah’s mausoleum to commemorate the leader, who was killed in an Israeli airstrike on September 27, 2024. Despite suffering heavy losses in a recent 14-month conflict with Israel and facing calls from the Lebanese government to disarm, Hezbollah loyalists reaffirmed their commitment to their weapons, with one supporter declaring, “We will not compromise on our weapons, and we will not hand them over.”
