Speaking in a press conference in Tehran on Wednesday, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said that "Tehran welcomes ceasefire in Lebanon."
Ghalibaf lauded Hezbollah for never allowing Zionist enemy to occupy one iota of Lebanese soil.
"Netanyahu regime deployed 7 armored divisions to occupy south Lebanon, but to no avail," he added.
"Netanyahu had better stop the rhetoric as he was defeated," the speaker continued to say.
A ceasefire deal between Israel and Hezbollah began at 04:00 local time (0200 GMT) on Wednesday. The ceasefire agreement requires Israeli troops to withdraw from south Lebanon and Lebanon’s army to deploy in the region.
Ghalibaf went on to say that Iran will certainly carry out the True Promise III operation in retaliation for the Israeli regime’s October 26 act of aggression against the country.
