Iran's Khamenei urges Muslims to support Hezbollah against 'wicked Israel'
Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei called on Muslims "to stand by the people of Lebanon and the proud Hezbollah with whatever means they have and assist them in confronting the wicked regime (of Israel)"
#BREAKING: Full statement by the Iran Supreme Leader Imam Khamenei regarding the death of Hassan Nasrallah:
“The great mujahid, the flag-bearer of resistance in the region, the virtuous religious scholar, the mastermind, the political leader, His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, may God be pleased with him, attained the honor of martyrdom in the events in Lebanon last night, and rose towards God's heavenly kingdom.
The beloved Master of Resistance finally received the reward of decades of jihad in the way of Allah, and endured its hardships during a holy battle. He was martyred while he was busy planning to defend the defenseless people of the Beirut suburbs, their destroyed homes, and their loved ones who were torn to pieces. He also fought for decades to defend the people of Palestine who were subjected to injustice and oppression, their usurped cities and villages, their destroyed homes, and their loved ones who died in the countless Zionist massacres.
The honor of martyrdom was his undisputed right after all this lengthy jihad. The Islamic world has lost a great personality, the Resistance Front has lost a prominent flag-bearer, and Hezbollah has lost an unparalleled leader, but the blessings of his planning and jihad over the course of these decades will never end.
The foundations he laid in Lebanon, and through which he directed all the centers of resistance, will not disappear with his absence, but will in fact grow stronger and more solid with the blessing of his blood and the blood of all the martyrs. And the strikes of the resistance front against the miserable and decaying body of the Zionist entity will become, by God’s will and power, more devastating and destructive.
The malicious Zionist entity did not achieve victory in this incident, as the master of resistance was not just a person, but rather an approach and a school of thought, and this approach will continue. Just as the blood of martyr Sayyed Abbas al-Musawi was not shed in vain, the blood of martyr Sayyed Hassan will not be in vain either.
I offer my condolences and congratulations to the virtuous wife of the dear Sayyed, who also sacrificed her son Sayyed Hadi for the sake of God, and to her virtuous sons, and the families of the martyrs in this incident, as well as to every individual in Hezbollah, and to the dear people and senior officials in Lebanon, and to all parts of the resistance front, and to the entire Islamic nation, on the martyrdom of the great Nasrallah and his martyred companions.
I declare a five-day general mourning in the Islamic nation of Iran. I ask God to gather him with His close servants. And peace be upon the righteous servants of God.”
