Hezbollah’s Deputy Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem has been residing in Tehran after fleeing Lebanon on an Iranian plane over two weeks ago, the UAE-based Erem News outlet reported, quoting an anonymous Iranian source.
Qassem reportedly left Beirut on October 5 on the aircraft used by Tehran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi for a state visit to Lebanon and Syria. His transfer was ordered by top leaders of the Islamic Republic for fear of assassination by Israel, the source said
Qassem has delivered three speeches since the death of Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah. While the first was recorded in Beirut, the second and third were delivered in Tehran, the source said.
