Lebanese militant group Hezbollah condemned Wednesday Israel’s killing of Iranian national seucrity chief Ali Larijani, calling it “cowardly”. “We in Hezbollah, as we condemn this cowardly assassination and the ongoing criminal American–Israeli aggression, affirm that the assassination of leaders will neither break the will of the Islamic Republic nor undermine the determination of its leadership, its people, and its fighters,” the Iran-backed group said. Larijani, one of the most powerful men in Iran, was killed in an Israeli air strike, Tehran confirmed Tuesday. AFP
