Upon arriving at Beirut Airport on Sunday morning to attend the funeral ceremony of Seyed Hassan Nasrallah and Seyed Hashem Safi alDin, Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi told reporters: “Today’s funeral of these martyrs shows that the Resistance and Hezbollah remain alive, loyal to their cause, and, God willing, the path of resistance will continue.”

 

The senior Iranian diplomat added that just as the Resistance has achieved many victories so far, “God willing, it will also achieve the ultimate victory.”
