News - Middle East: Leader of the Islamic Revolution Seyyed Ali Khamenei has warned the enemy that the enduring resistance against oppression and arrogance will continue until it achieves its ultimate objective.

Sayyed Khamenei made the declaration in a message that was read out during the funeral ceremonies of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, the late leader of the Hezbollah resistance movement, and his deputy and appointed successor Sayyed Hashem Safieddine, held in Beirut on Sunday.

“Let the enemy be aware that resistance against usurpation, oppression, and arrogance will never end and will continue until the ultimate goal is reached, by the will of God,” the Leader said in his message.

The Leader described martyred Nasrallah as the leading commander of the resistance in the region, saying he is now at the “height of honor.”

Nasrallah’s spirit and path will shine more gloriously each day, illuminating the way for his followers, Ayatollah Khamenei said. 

The Leader also said the good name and radiant countenance of Safieddine, a close companion and inseparable part of the resistance’s leadership in Lebanon, is also a “shining star in this region’s history.

Sayyed Khamenei wished God’s grace and His righteous servants would be upon the two honorable figures and on other courageous, self-sacrificing fighters, who have recently attained martyrdom and upon all the martyrs of Islam.

The Leader also sent a special greeting to the Lebanese children and the valiant youths.

Sayyed Nasrallah was assassinated in Israel’s bombardment of southern Beirut on September 27, 2024. Using 85 tons of explosives, Israeli jets leveled six residential buildings in Dahiyeh, following a week-long bombing campaign that hit many areas from southern Lebanon to Beirut.

Sayyed Safieddine was assassinated in an Israeli attack on October 3, 2024.

Hezbollah postponed funeral ceremonies for both leaders due to fears of Israeli attacks on the ceremony.

On Sunday, massive crowds from various regions of Lebanon and around the world converged in Beirut to attend the historic funeral procession for the martyred Hezbollah leader and former head of its Executive Council.
