In Iran, Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Khamenei, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, issued a message on the occasion of the martyrdom of Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah. In part of his message, he stated: "The Islamic world has lost a noble figure, the Resistance Front has lost an eminent standard-bearer, and Lebanon’s Hezbollah has lost an unparalleled leader. However, the blessings from his decades of planning and jihad will never be lost. 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 of this event."<ref>[https://english.khamenei.ir/news/11123/Resistance-Front-s-blows-on-worn-out-body-of-Zionist-regime-will ]</ref> | In Iran, Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Khamenei, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, issued a message on the occasion of the martyrdom of Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah.
