Iranian speaker says supplying Hezbollah with rockets 'not impossible'

Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has said that “supplying Hezbollah with rockets is not impossible.”

In a TV interview broadcast Wednesday evening, Ghalibaf said that had he been Hezbollah’s leader, he would have “waged war on Israel at depths of 100 and 200 kilometers.”

He added that when he says that Hezbollah is more vigorous than ever he means that that “encompasses many aspects that include beliefs, capabilities and coherence, in addition to material and moral aspects, without that meaning that there are no challenges.”

Ghalibaf’s remarks about Hezbollah had drawn a rebuke from Lebanon’s foreign ministry in recent months.
