In an article, the Iranian weekly Sobh-e Sadeq, the mouthpiece of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei circulated among the Revolutionary Guards, has stated that Hizbullah sees itself as part of an Islamic movement striving towards Islamic rule of the world – not just as a Lebanese organization.
It also said that Hizbullah was obeying, politically and religiously, the founder of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Ruholla Khomeini, and now his heir Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khameini, and that therefore Hizbullah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah kisses the hand of Khamenei and presents himself to him as his soldier.
In another article, the weekly stated that Iran's significant progress in ballistic missile technology will force its enemies to be more cautious in their contacts with it and will reduce the risk to which Iran is exposed.
