Tehran: Due to the Israeli attack on Lebanon, Hezbollah's second-ranking leader and Deputy Secretary General Naim Qasim has fled from Beirut to Tehran.

According to available reports, Iranian leaders asked him to leave Beirut immediately and on October 5, the Iranian Foreign Minister's plane was sent to Beirut to pick him up. This plane is used by Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Ardami to visit Lebanon and Syria. In fact, on receiving information that Naeem Qasim was also going to be killed, Iran's leaders ordered Qasim to come to Tehran.

After the killing of Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah on September 27, Qasim made three fiery speeches. He gave one of these lectures in Beirut and the other two in Tehran.

In fact, since the war with Hamas, Israel has killed many Hezbollah leaders.

Qasim made his political career from the Shia Aams movement in Lebanon. He left the movement in 1979 after the Islamic Revolution in Iran. After this he took a prominent part in the meetings held after the formation of the Hezbollah group. And in 1982, Iran formed the Islamic Revolutionary Guards. The reason was Israel's attack on southern Lebanon.

When general elections were held in Iran in 1992, the extremist group Hezbollah also took part in it. At that time Naeem Qasim worked as the journal co-ordinator of Hezbollah.
