Iran Commander Meets With Hezbollah After Attack On Israel


Commander of Iran Guards meets with Hezbollah No. 2, day after attack on Israel

The Times of Israel is liveblogging Saturday’s events as they happen.



The commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has met with Hezbollah No. 2 Naim Qassem, according to photos published today.

The meeting between Maj. Gen. Hossein Salami and Qassem, who is in Tehran for the inauguration of new Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, comes a day after Hezbollah fired 19 rockets at Israel in the heaviest barrage since the 2006 Second Lebanon War. Israel responded with limited artillery fire.

Salami tells Qassem that “the capacities are ready for the collapse of the Zionist regime,” according to Iranian state-linked media.
