As for responding to threats and surrender, it represents another choice. This choice is the option of submission, surrender, and acceptance of the logic of power. We stand with the logic of truth, not the logic of power. With the logic of truth, we commit to resistance and continue to defend our rights, our land, our future, our youth, our nation, and our generations.

As for those who accept to surrender and submit under the guise of the logic of power, they have no choice, and they bear the responsibility for themselves. As for us, we do not accept to be humiliated. We will always remain with our heads held high, for those who are on the side of truth are always victorious and always in advanced positions.

We always say and always express that we believe in victory or martyrdom, based on what principle? The principle of commitment to truth, the liberation of land, and the liberation of mankind. Victory is a victory, and martyrdom is also a victory because it prevents the enemy from achieving its goals and opens the door for future generations to continue the process of confrontation without the enemy succeeding in its objectives.

Whoever believes in victory or martyrdom on the path of Imam Hussein, peace be upon him, who refused to surrender, refused to retreat, refused to pledge allegiance to Yazid, despite the small number of his companions and resources, the result was that he was martyred in the battlefield, but his movement, his direction, and his convictions continued through time. And here we are today, the children of Imam Hussein, peace be upon him, following his path and vision, in his dignity, honor, and status, and returning to Allah Almighty. In this path, we have presented the Master of Martyrs of the Nation, Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah, may Allah be pleased with him, who embodies this approach. This approach is a way of life and a way to continue. Therefore, his martyrdom is a beacon for us to continue. His martyrdom is for the resistance to remain strong and honored. His martyrdom is so that everyone may unite on one path to preserve the land, recover it, and preserve dignity, honor, and independence. This is something we cannot retreat from. In our belief, the resistance is always victorious through the blood of martyrs and sacrifices.

As for the enemy, it is always defeated. Allah Almighty says in His glorious book: “Say to those who disbelieve, ‘You will be overcome and gathered together to Hell, and wretched is the resting place.’” How long will the Israeli occupation last? How long can they maneuver? How much support will they have? How long will they continue killing? How much longer will Netanyahu remain? The situation will not remain the same.

We cannot specify the exact timing, but in the end, they will lose when we stand firm, when we remain steadfast. We will not give them the illusion of success in their failure and retreat. We will remain standing on our feet, and the enemy will despair of our stance and sacrifices. What the enemy is doing only strengthens our resolve and maintains our strength because we see that the stronger we are, the greater the dignity, honor, and independence we can achieve, as evidenced by the past 44 years. However, when there is hesitation, it means everything will be lost, and this will not happen with us.

Another matter is the ceasefire agreement that took place on November 27, 2024, between the Lebanese state and the Israeli entity, indirectly mediated by the international community with the involvement of the United States, France, and United Nations peacekeeping forces (UNIFIL).

This agreement calls for a ceasefire and includes commitments from both Lebanon and the Israeli entity. Lebanon fulfilled all its obligations, and the Islamic Resistance and all honorable fighters adhered to the ceasefire in the south of the Litani River, enabling the Lebanese army to deploy its forces as the sole armed force in the region to maintain security. Lebanon and the resistance fully implemented these terms, as confirmed by the world, without exception.

On the other hand, Israel did not withdraw. Israel did not stop its aggression. Israel violated the terms more than three thousand times, and all of this is documented in front of the world, and it has been stated publicly. Even the commander of the international peacekeeping forces has stated this and confirmed that the Lebanese side complied, while the Israeli side did not.

The ceasefire was reached because the Israeli enemy had reached a dead end, meaning that continuing the aggression was pointless. We were also convinced that there should be no war, which is why we agreed with the Lebanese state on the ceasefire.

But what is the enemy working on now?

It wants to end the resistance. The reason it initiated the war in the first place and why we fought the Battle of Resilience was to confront this project aimed at ending the resistance. The enemy failed to achieve that, and the ceasefire agreement was reached. Now, it believes that continued pressure and aggression could lead to the political termination of the resistance by pressuring the Lebanese state to exert pressure on Hezbollah throughout Lebanon and strip it of its capabilities.

This has not happened. If they did not succeed in ending the resistance through war, do they expect to achieve that after the agreement through pressure and violations? This is not possible. The aggression Israel carried out recently on the Nabatieh and Iqlim al-Tuffah regions was a reckless attack, playing with fire. This will not allow Israel to achieve its objectives. This is for the Lebanese state to act more effectively, and for the sponsors—the United States, France, and their allies—to take note.

(7/9):

We consider that this phase, after the ceasefire, is the responsibility of the Lebanese state, which has taken it upon itself to implement the ceasefire and adhere to the commitments related to the Lebanese side. We have assisted the state in fulfilling this commitment. It must exert more pressure and take further action.

Let it be clear to everyone, let the Israeli and those behind Israel know that we will not submit to threats and pressures. Even if the entire world gathers to strip us of our rights and land, we will not surrender. We will face all forms of confrontation available to us, depending on the situation, but there will be no surrender. Remove surrender from your vocabulary; this will not happen as long as the resistance exists, God willing.

Here, I would like to point out an important point: If some believe that we are being isolated in Lebanon, that everyone is turning against us and exerting different kinds of pressure to make us retreat and abandon our strength and resistance without detailed coordination with the Lebanese state concerning Lebanon’s protection and power, they are mistaken. This will not happen, no matter the pressure. If some believe that through these pressures they can remove us from the equation, they are deluded.

I want to draw your attention to something: today, Lebanon is heading towards stability. The ones obstructing stability in Lebanon are Israel and Israeli aggression. Moreover, if some in Lebanon respond to the Israeli enemy, this means they are putting the political, economic, and social stability of Lebanon on the path to destruction. Lebanon cannot be stable by isolating a component, or by attempting to single it out, or by pressuring the resistance to give in to what should not be offered after everything it has given, while Israel has not complied at all. Go, first let Israel fulfill its obligations, let it finish the matters that are part of the agreement, and we can then discuss the internal details. There is no problem between us and the President of the Republic, nor between us and the components within Lebanon.

As for thinking that the state is moving forward and stability is advancing while we remain isolated on the sidelines, with pressures from both outside and inside, and that everything is normal—no, it is not normal. Stability cannot happen under these conditions. This country will only be stable when we all cooperate, when we are all stable, and when we all live our lives normally.

Here, I want to address a message to the resistance’s supporters:

Before you is the strength of resolve that we fought alongside you with—full of vigor, strength, honor, dignity, sacrifice, jihad, and dedication. Before you is the experience of the ceasefire, steadfastness, and the presence of the people in the villages, working cohesively.

The experience during the battle and after the ceasefire has proven that we are strong on the ground, that we can prevent these dangers from reaching us, and that we will not allow the enemy to achieve its objectives.

You are the ones who defeat the enemies and their “villains.” You are the ones who reclaim the land with your steadfastness. You are the promising future of Lebanon, with its resistance, army, and people striving for independence and freedom. No one plays games between us, and no one thinks they can weaken our resolve.

As for those few in Lebanon who serve Israel with their stances, we tell them: do not be servants of Israel. In doing so, you are obstructing and paralyzing the country and causing harm to it. You are preventing real participation and genuine interaction.

By the way, Israel’s servants do not add to Israel’s benefit because they are the ones creating tension. This tension negatively impacts them, not us. Do not justify Israel’s actions. Is it conceivable that one would claim the bombing of Nabatieh has nothing to do with Lebanon? Is it because the bombing targets people with no relation to the Lebanese structure or the Lebanese reality? Who among you, with a sound mind, would say this and stand in such a position?

In any case, Israel’s servants are well-known to us. Their history is dark, their corruption has destroyed Lebanon, and they always work in a way that harms their society, their community, and those who support them. Have mercy on yourselves and the country. These people provoke the country for no reason.

For your information, the country is progressing with economic development, administrative organization, municipal elections, and arrangements to move Lebanon to a new stage. At the same time, in the face of Israeli aggression, there are calls to end the Israeli aggression. Yet they come out to say: No, you must first do what is required of you, and Israel is right. Thus, they increase tension in a time when attention should be focused on Israel, both in terms of stopping it and building the country.

Israel’s servants are greatly mistaken. We tell them: Return to your patriotism, return to your Lebanese identity, return to cooperation, and let us be partners.

The other matter is that today we are facing a new era under the presidency of His Excellency President General Aoun. This new era carries great hopes. No one should think that this new era cancels out all the others or does things that the others cannot do. No, this new era is one in which we are partners, and we are part of it.

As Hezbollah and the Amal Movement, we made the greatest contribution when President Joseph Aoun was elected, and we proved to everyone that we are part of the country’s building and its launch. So, what is happening in Lebanon is a new phase of construction, a new era, and we are an integral part of this new era. All the blessings of this new era are ours as well, and we contribute to them. When there is openness to some Arab and foreign countries, and relations that are returning to their previous state or improving, this is because we are part of this conviction. We want the Arab countries to return to Lebanon; we want the world to cooperate with Lebanon. We want those who took previous stances for various reasons to return to Lebanon, because we believe in common interests. Why shouldn’t these interests be for everyone? Therefore, what is happening from blessings, we are partners in it.

But I tell these countries: Do not impose your damaging choices on Lebanon, and do not prioritize one team over another unjustly. You have interests in Lebanon, and we welcome that, take your interests, and give us our interests in Lebanon as Lebanese.

(9/9):

Therefore, we deal as state to state, on equal terms. This must be clear to everyone.

By the way, we did not just start behaving positively with the new era for the sake of Lebanon. Since Prime Minister Mikati’s government on November 27, 2024, the agreement between the Lebanese state and the Israeli entity was made indirectly, a ceasefire agreement, and we adhered to it and helped the state. This was a month and a half before the election of the new president, and for a month and a half, we fully adhered to it. This means that we are committed to supporting the state and its entity, and that we are an inseparable part of it, and there should be progress in all fields—economic, social, and political. We continued along this path.

I repeat so that the officials do not forget, there are three priorities that must be addressed together:

1. The priority of ending Israeli aggression, repeated air violations, occupation, and the release of prisoners. This is a fundamental issue that must happen, and the Lebanese state must exert all its efforts.

2. The second priority is reconstruction, which is a duty of the government. The issue of reconstruction must begin. I urge the Lebanese government to place this point on the agenda of its first session, because this matter should not be delayed. There is no justification for delay. At the very least, set the general framework, the general steps, and the formation of the relevant committees. We are being contacted by a number of Arab and non-Arab countries who say they are ready to provide support, but they ask us first, how will you start? Set the framework in which you will begin as Lebanese. It is our responsibility to set the framework as the Lebanese state, as the Lebanese government. I call for giving this matter great importance, as it is one of the highest priorities.

3. The third priority we spoke about is the issue of building the state economically and socially, and returning the depositors’ funds, along with all the matters Lebanon needs.

I congratulate the Lebanese people on the municipal and electoral elections that took place in Mount Lebanon, in the north, and in Tripoli. These elections, through their performance, demonstrated the enthusiasm of the Lebanese for building the state. We were among the first to encourage and insist on holding these elections on time. We also achieved successes through cooperation between Hezbollah and the Amal Movement in many towns, especially in Mount Lebanon, where we worked on consensus, providing a pioneering model in maintaining the formula of coexistence and cooperation, as exemplified by the experience in Haret Hreik. In Haret Hreik, the president is Christian, and the members are proportionally represented according to their numbers, as agreed upon between the Amal Movement, Hezbollah, and the other forces present. We are also convinced that Beirut should be treated with this same consideration, to ensure balanced representation that takes into account all sects and communities without focusing on numbers or political calculations. We encourage this and are part of it, and we have provided a leading example in this regard.

I conclude by congratulating Yemen on its victory over America, remaining a beacon of light and support for Palestine. This great Yemen, with its people, leadership, sacrifices, martyrs, wounded, and contributions, has succeeded in forcing America to stop its aggression, compelling it against its will. Yemen has continued with its vision and belief in striking the Israeli entity in defense of Gaza. All respect to these honorable people.

And greetings also to the blessed Islamic Republic of Iran, which raises the flag of freedom, always working for the support of our causes in our region. We are proud of our relationship with it, under the leadership of Imam Khamenei, may allah preserve him, following the path of Imam Khomeini, may Allah sanctify his soul.

Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings.

✅ | Imam Ali (A) said: Be in times of sedition like a young camel (ibn al-labūn) that has neither a back fit to be ridden nor udders to be milked.”

(Nahj al-Balāghah: Hikmah-1)

What does it mean?

It is part of the Imam’s lengthy will addressed to his son, Imam al-Hasan al-Mujtaba (A) (Makarem Shirazi, Naser, 1393 [2014], vol. 12, p. 26; citing: Bihār al-Anwār, vol. 74, p. 234, hadith 3)

Unlike the term “political crisis,” which carries a neutral connotation, the concept of fitnah (sedition) evokes a realistic portrayal of social turmoil and calls the members of the political community to collective participation in successfully overcoming that chaos. Only the seditionists and chaos-seekers desire stagnation in such times. Thus, religious political thought, by labeling a social upheaval as fitnah, draws attention to the fact that the society is undergoing a difficult trial. It must then take rational steps to pass through this trial in safety. At this point, the question arises: what are those rational steps? The words of the Commander of the Faithful, Imam Ali (A, in this wisdom, serve as an answer to that question.

It rarely happens that time passes uniformly for a political society. Rather, it is always subject to strong or mild turbulence. The reason for this lies in the political nature of society. Politics is the field of deliberate action directed at power and social order. The manifestation of these deliberate actions—due to the non-abstract nature of politics—is inherently interactive. It is through these interactions, whether harmonious or conflictual, that tensions arise.

Fitnah refers to a temporal condition where the political society is entangled in a high degree of antagonistic political interactions. Modern political science refers to such a condition as a “political crisis,” but religious thought calls it fitnah-i-siyāsī (political sedition).

As evident in the Holy Qur’an and the words of Imam Ali (A), this same term is used, because from the perspective of religious politics, the occurrence of disputes and conflicts in a political society is seen as a test and trial for each member of the community. This is consistent with the linguistic and conventional meaning of the word fitnah. Linguistically, fitnah means placing gold into the fire to separate the pure from the impure. More broadly, it refers to any test, trial, or tribulation.

Ayatullah Makarim Shirazi interprets fitnah here as social turmoil. (Ibid, vol. 12, p. 23).

🔹@enemywatch

The concept of political fitnah (sedition or turmoil), unlike political crisis—which carries a neutral connotation—offers a realistic narrative of social chaos and calls upon members of the political community to engage collectively in order to successfully overcome the upheaval. For it is none other than the seditionists and chaos-mongers who desire a prolonged state of unrest. Thus, religious politics—by referring to social turmoil as fitnah—signals that society is undergoing a difficult test and must take rational steps to pass through it safely. It is here that the question of what those rational steps are becomes relevant. Imam Ali’s (A) statement in this aphorism provides an answer to that question.

Imam Ali (A) illustrates the rational step in navigating political fitnah using the metaphor of Ibn al-Labūn, a two-year-old camel. A mature she-camel possesses two major features: the ability to carry loads and to produce milk. A two-year-old camel, however, has neither. In this analogy, members of the political community are assumed to be capable of two key actions: bearing political power and nourishing it. Political participation by the people implies these two functions. But political fitnah relies on these functions for its continuation; when people become involved in the fitnah, they carry and nourish the social disorder. Thus, people themselves may unwittingly become agents of perpetuating sedition and political unrest.

The rational course of action for people, therefore, is neither to carry the fitnah nor to nourish it—that is, to leave sedition and chaos isolated in the political arena.

This metaphor of Ibn al-Labūn holds greater significance for political and intellectual elites. A political elite, due to his position and authority in governance, becomes an effective tool for transporting sedition. Misplaced support for fitnah by a political elite offers chaos-mongers the opportunity to ride on the back of disorder. Similarly, intellectual elites—due to their spiritual or moral standing in society—if not cautious in their speech, may inadvertently utter words that nourish sedition and unrest.

Some have interpreted this metaphorical wisdom as an encouragement for the general public to retreat into isolation and abandon political participation altogether in times of social turmoil. However, this interpretation is inconsistent with both Qur’anic teachings and the examples set by the Prophet (S) and Imam Ali (A). Even during the time Imam Ali (A) was forced into political seclusion, he never abandoned his political stance.

And when he did accept the caliphate, Medina was deep in fitnah and chaos. The third caliph, Uthman, had been killed, and Mu’awiyah, son of Abu Sufyan, was deceitfully positioning himself to seize the political legacy of the Prophet (S). It was in this climate that Imam Ali (A) rejected isolation and accepted political leadership and governance. Similarly, Imam Husayn (A) did not choose isolation in the face of Yazid’s fitnah, but instead rose up against it. Had the people of Kufa, instead of siding with Ibn Ziyad or retreating into passivity, pledged allegiance to the Imam, the tragic event of Karbala would not have occurred.

The commentator from Khurasan, Mirza Habibullah Hashemi Khoyi, a scholar of the 13th and 14th centuries AH (1265–1324 Hijri), emphasizes this point: Imam Ali (A) did not mean retreat, laziness, or heedless rest. Rather, he intended to caution against cooperation with the instigators of fitnah and to avoid supporting them in their corrupt objectives. (Hashemi Khoyi, Mirza Habibullah, 1429 Hijri, vol. 21, p. 10)

🔹@enemywatch

+

+

Similarly, Ayatullah Makarim Shirazi confirms this meaning: it is clear from what has been said that Imam Ali (A) never intended that if a group of wrongdoers rises against believers and seekers of truth, one should not support the righteous. This would contradict the explicit command of the Qur’an, which says:

“If one group among the believers transgresses against another, then fight the group that transgresses until it returns to the command of God.” [Qur’an, Surah al-Hujurat, 49:9]

Therefore, the Ibn al-Labūn strategy—for both political and intellectual elites and the general public—is a model of rationality and insight necessary for navigating political and social fitnah. Members of the political community must not, in times of sedition, become carriers or sustainers of political disorder.

The ongoing battle between Indo-Pak nations is not merely a bilateral issue but is part of a larger, coordinated project involving israel and the United States. These external players often benefit from the fragmentation and weakening of the region, manipulating local wars for broader strategic goals.

For the nationalists of both India and Pakistan, the lesson here is one of political maturity and foresight. Instead of perpetuating the divisive narratives that pit India and Pakistan against each other, it is crucial to recognize that the true battle is not about the two nations but about resisting the manipulation of external powers that fuel this war for their own gain. The Ibn al-Labūn lesson urges both nations to detach themselves from these external machinations, to stop nourishing the fitnah, and to focus on unity, stability, and sovereignty. The conflict between India and Pakistan should be understood not just as a territorial dispute but as part of a larger geopolitical struggle that serves the interests of foreign powers. Nationalists in both countries must transcend the limited view of India vs. Pakistan and recognize that this conflict is being driven by larger, external actors who have long-term strategies that involve keeping the region unstable.
