Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei sent a direct message to Hezbollah’s Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem, stressing ongoing support against American and Israeli adversaries. The message emphasized that Iran’s policy remains consistent. It draws from the legacy of the late leaders of the Islamic Revolution and Hezbollah.
The Iranian leader highlighted the importance of steadfastness when confronting adversaries and cited historical figures as examples. He specifically mentioned the late Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and Hezbollah’s former secretary-general, Hassan Nasrallah. Their leadership and sacrifices shaped the enduring path of the Islamic resistance. Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei also praised the courage of leaders such as General Qassem Soleimani. Members of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps and the national army similarly demonstrated bravery and commitment.
Their actions showed dedication to defending the Islamic Ummah without fear. Prominent Hezbollah figures, including Nasrallah and the late Hashem Safieddine, illustrate steadfast leadership within the Islamic resistance. Their dedication continues to guide current and future leaders. In his message, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei thanked Sheikh Qassem for offering condolences.
