According to the English section of webangah News Agency, quoting Mehr News agency, Ahmad Hassan Mostafa, head of the Asia-Egypt Research and Translation Center, highlighted the regional political importance of Ali Larijani’s visit to Iraq and Lebanon. He noted that this trip comes in the wake of israel’s recent military setbacks against Iran. Tehran is strengthening its ties with key groups such as Hezbollah in Lebanon and resistance forces in Iraq, resisting U.S. and Israeli demands for disarmament.
Iran has previously used this influence to counter Western dominance, with Hezbollah’s extensive missile arsenal continuing to serve as a significant deterrent against Israeli attacks. Larijani’s diplomatic efforts reflect Iran’s commitment to building a united front that leverages Iraq’s political framework and Lebanese resistance groups’ solidarity against disarmament pressures.
Larijani’s meetings in Baghdad and Beirut reveal Iran’s long-term strategy to preserve its resistance network amid ongoing U.S.and Israeli efforts-especially after Tel Aviv’s recent operational failures. His trip conveyed a clear message: attempts at disarming resistance movements risk regional stability, forcing Washington and Jerusalem either to revise their approach or face determined opposition.
A Pivotal Visit to Iraq and Lebanon
Larijani’s visits underscored Iran’s strategic alignment with regional resistance movements. His participation in arbaeen commemorations linked the historic tragedy of Ashura with current Gaza crises, reinforcing Iran’s ideological stance against oppression. In Iraq, he focused on countering American-Israeli pressures aimed at disarming resistant factions-a move Tehran equates with surrendering to Zionist aggression. In Lebanon, his engagements stressed opposition to foreign interference, particularly from Washington and its allies.
Rejecting U.S. and Israeli Disarmament Demands
Larijani firmly dismissed U.S. and Israeli calls for disarming resistance groups as direct assaults on national sovereignty. Following Israel’s defeats by Iranian-backed forces-and Tel Aviv signaling a ceasefire-Tehran has strengthened its position considerably. Field evidence confirms that these movements have effectively repelled Israeli incursions; Hezbollah’s 2006 war victory remains a prominent example.
Experts view Larijani’s statements as affirmation of Iran acting as a robust barrier against Western hegemony across the Middle east.
Lebanese Sovereignty Under External Threats
During meetings with senior Lebanese officials-including parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, President Joseph Aoun, and Prime Minister Nawaf Salam-Larijani emphasized Iran’s policy of non-intervention in lebanon’s internal affairs while accusing Israel along with Western backers of destabilizing Lebanon.
Liberation reports indicate over 1,000 breaches of Lebanese airspace by Israel since early 2024-a continual threat undermining national security.
Amid these tensions, larijani avoided internal disputes within Lebanon rather focusing attention on external aggressors which reinforces Tehran’s narrative supporting steadfastness against foreign domination.
Nuclear Diplomacy & Distrust Toward America
In an interview with Al-Mayadeen TV network, Larijani rejected any nuclear negotiations without credible guarantees from Washington,
pointing out America’s history breaking deals-including its unilateral withdrawal from JCPOA in 2018-which resulted in significant damages for Iran.
Nuclear diplomacy experts regard Tehran’s insistence on binding conditions as pragmatic realism confronting unpredictable American policies.
Larijani represents this tough stance as part of strategic patience coupled with resilience under coercion.
Iranian Regional Ascendancy
