WANA (Sep 28) – Following the assassination of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, Secretary-General of Hezbollah, Sayyed Abbas Araghchi, Iran’s Foreign Minister, issued a message.

 

In this message, Araghchi emphasized the significance of the blood of the martyrs in expanding resistance and achieving the final victory over the enemies. He described this incident as another step on the path of resistance and the liberation of Jerusalem.

 

The full text of Sayyed Abbas Araghchi’s message is as follows:

 

“Among the believers are men who have been true to their covenant with Allah; some of them have fulfilled their vow [to the death], and some of them are still waiting, and they have not changed in the least.

 

Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of resistance and the pride of the Islamic Ummah, has joined the ranks of martyrs who have fallen in the honorable fight against the oppressive and murderous Zionist occupiers. This is not the first time that the Zionist regime has martyred Hezbollah leaders and commanders, but the blessed tree of resistance does not cease to thrive and grow.

 

In the Islamic tradition, martyrdom itself is a testimony to the legitimacy of the cause, a motive for continuing the path, and a driving force for attracting more fighters. Did they not witness how the blood of Martyr Sayyed Abbas Mousavi further strengthened Hezbollah? Now, they must anxiously watch the impact of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah’s blood in expanding the resistance even further. May his martyrdom be sweet, and his path be filled with many followers.

 

I offer my congratulations and condolences for the martyrdom of the leader of resistance and his companions at the hands of the cruel and detestable Zionist regime, to the Supreme Leader, the Islamic Ummah, the people of the region, the resilient and wise people of Lebanon and Iran, and all elements and members of the resistance axis. Without a doubt, the pure blood of the martyrs of resistance will pave the way for the final victory and the liberation of Al-Quds from the hands of the Zionist criminals, God willing.

 

And victory is from none but Allah, the Almighty, the Wise.”

 

ALso he reacted to this event with a message on his X page, and stated:

 

“Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, the proud leader of the Lebanese resistance against occupation and aggression for three decades, is now greater than ever: a revered martyr whose blood guarantees the continuation of Hezbollah’s rightful cause.

 

The assassination of resistance leaders is merely a reaffirmation of the unchangeable reality that the diabolical and genocidal existence of the occupiers will never take root in our region.”
