He emphasized Hezbollah's critical role in Lebanon's political framework, noting that Lebanese officials are fully aware of the importance of the group
On US-Iran relations, Larijani commented on potential changes under a future Trump administration, critiquing the previous administration's policies. He suggested that if Washington continues its former approach, it risks further decline in the region, but a shift in strategy could better align with US national interests.
