Iran vows to stand by Hezbollah against Israel

Iran's president on Thursday said that if the Israelis launch a new war against Lebanon's Hezbollah, the militant group should retaliate strong enough to "close their case once and for all."

Speaking by phone, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad urged Hezbollah leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah to prepare his fighters to be able to retaliate strongly against any Israeli attack. (AP)
