President Reaffirms Commitment Ahead of Nasrallah and Safieddine Funerals: A Pledge of Unity
In a poignant tribute to two prominent figures of the Lebanese resistance movement, President Masoud Pezeshkian has released a heartfelt message ahead of their official funeral. The nation is coming together to honor the **leaders** whose contributions have left a lasting impact.
As Lebanese citizens gather at the Camille Chamoun Sports City Stadium for the funeral of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and Sayyed Hashim Safieddine, President Pezeshkian took to his X account to express his condolences. He referred to these two resistance leaders as the “valiant sons” of the Lebanese nation.
In his message, written in both Arabic and Persian, the president highlighted the unwavering commitment of Nasrallah and Safieddine, stating they were “heroes who stayed true to their pledge and defended the dignity of the [Islamic] umma.” The poignant declaration concluded with the hashtag “#we_stay_true_to_our_pledge.”
- Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah: He served as the secretary-general of Hezbollah for 32 years until his assassination in an Israeli strike in Dahieh, a southern suburb of Beirut, on September 27 last year.
- Sayyed Hashim Safieddine: He was Nasrallah’s deputy and succeeded him as Hezbollah’s secretary-general after Nasrallah’s death. Tragically, Safieddine was also killed in an Israeli airstrike in Dahieh on October 3.
As the funeral approaches, delegates from the highest ranks of the Iranian government, along with numerous private citizens, have traveled to Lebanon to pay their respects to the fallen leaders. The commemorative event is set to take place later today, marking a significant moment in the history of the Lebanese resistance movement.
In remembrance of their sacrifices, the nation unites to honor the legacy of these two esteemed leaders.
