Kataib Hezbollah Leader Calls for Preparedness for Comprehensive, Worldwide War
The secretary-general of Kataib Hezbollah called on fighters across the world to prepare for what he described as a “comprehensive war” in support of the Islamic Republic of Iran and in response to an unprecedented aggression by US and Zionist forces, according to a statement released on Sunday.
Addressing what he described as “mujahideen in the east and west,” the Kataib Hezbollah leader urged readiness to support Iran, portraying it as a central pillar for Resistance in the region and stressing that it has stood for decades alongside oppressed peoples regardless of sect, ethnicity, or race.
He said, “Zionists and their allies” were now mobilizing to confront Iran, warning that any war against the Islamic Republic would not be easy. The statement asserted that such a conflict would extend across the region and carry severe consequences for Iran’s adversaries.
The secretary-general also called on fighters to prepare operationally and psychologically, urging them to brace for what he described as all possible outcomes should religious authorities declare jihad in support of Iran. He said this could include expanded forms of armed action in defense of what he termed Islamic causes.
The statement further said if a comprehensive war is declared “brothers in the eastern and western parts of the earth” must prepare. If this declaration is announced it may even call for “martyrdom operations” against the colonial forces of arrogance. Media in West Asia declared that the statement is unprecedented and marks a huge departure from the norm.
The head of the Iranian Journalists’ Association and member of the Government Media Council, Masha’Allah Shams al-Wa’izin, warned on Friday that US President Donald Trump is “walking on the edge of the abyss,” amid escalating tensions in the region.
Shams al-Wa’izin said that Washington has communicated through a third party that Iran’s facilities could face attacks and that Tehran is expected to endure any such strikes “without a severe response.”
He emphasized, however, that for Iran, any limited strike would be considered a full-scale war, significantly raising the cost for any potential aggressor. Shams al-Wa’izin further asserted that the United States and the Zionist regime had planned recent events involving armed riots in the country, following the failure of the 12-day war on Iran. He dismissed conflated and false reports spread by opposition forces on alleged developments in Iran as “originating from the armed opposition based in Tel Aviv [and] Paris.”
“The United States wants Iran to surrender,” Shams al-Wa’izin said, stressing that no self-respecting nation could accept such threats. He noted that American military mobilizations in the region are political signaling by Trump to the Iranian leadership, but stressed that Tehran possesses multiple power cards to respond to any pressure.
Shams al-Wa’izin’s remarks on US messaging to Tehran follow statements made by a senior Iranian official who spoke to Reuters.
The senior official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said that any attack would be regarded “as an all-out war against us.”
“This military buildup, we hope it is not intended for real confrontation, but our military is ready for the worst-case scenario,” the official said in regard to the US military buildup in the region, including the repositioning of two aircraft carriers.
The official stressed that this time around, Iran would treat limited, unlimited, surgical, and kinetic American attacks as “an all-out war”.
“We will respond in the hardest way possible to settle this,” the official said.
