Hezbollah pledges allegiance to new Iran supreme leader
Hezbollah on Monday welcomed the selection of Mojtaba Khamenei as Iran's new supreme leader, pledging allegiance after his predecessor and father Ali Khamenei was killed in U.S.-Israeli attacks.
"We in Hezbollah extend our warmest congratulations and blessings on this occasion. We renew our pledge of loyalty to this blessed approach and our steadfastness on the path of allegiance," the group said in a statement.
Hezbollah entered the Middle East war a week ago by attacking Israel in response to Ali Khamenei's killing.
