Iran's parliament speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf said on Sunday that militant groups would carry on confronting Israel with Tehran's help following the killing of Hezbollah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, Iranian state media reported.
An alliance known as the Axis of Resistance, built up over decades with Iranian support, includes the Palestinian group Hamas, Hezbollah in Lebanon, Yemen's Houthis, and various Shi'ite Muslim armed groups in Iraq and Syria.
Israel said it killed Nasrallah in an airstrike on Hezbollah's headquarters in Beirut's southern suburbs on Friday. Hezbollah confirmed he had been killed, without saying how.
"We will not hesitate to go to any level in order to help the resistance," Qalibaf said.
He also issued a warning to the United States.
"The U.S. is complicit in all of these crimes and...has to accept the repercussions," he said.
The Israeli military accused Lebanese armed group Hezbollah on Tuesday of seeking to rebuild its combat abilities in south Lebanon to the point of threatening Israel's security and undoing last year's ceasefire deal.
