Leader of the Islamic Revolution in Iran Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei mourned Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Nasrallah who was martyred in a treacherous Israeli raid on Beirut’s southern suburb, Dahiyeh, on Friday.

In a statement, Imam Khamenei declared five days of national mourning in the Islamic Republic over martyrdom of Sayyed Nasrallah.

“The Resistance Front lost a prominent leader and Hezbollah lost an unmatched leader, but the blessings of his decades-long struggle won’t go in vain,” the Leader said.

The great Mujahid, the standard-bearer of Resistance in the region, a virtuous scholar of religion & a wise political leader Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah (may God be pleased with him) achieved martyrdom in last night's tragic events in Lebanon & has ascended to the the heavens.

“The master of the resistance was not a person, but rather he is a path and a school, and this path will continue,” his eminence added.

“I extend congratulations and condolences to the resistance and the entire Islamic nation on the martyrdom of the great leader Sayyed Nasrallah and his fellow martyrs,” Imam Khamenei said.

“The blood of martyr Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah won’t go in vain, just like the blood of martyr Sayyed Abbas Al-Mousawi,” Imam Khamenei vowed.

'The evil nature of the Zionist regime has not won in this incident,' he also said.

The foundation that Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah established in Lebanon and the direction he provided to other centers of Resistance will not be destroyed as a result of his martyrdom, but rather it will also be strengthened due to his sacrifice and that of the other martyrs.
