Further underlining Iran’s support, Esma’eel Baqayi, spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, remarked that the attendance of the high-ranking Iranian delegation at the funeral represents “the continuous support of the Islamic Republic for the legitimate resistance of Lebanon and Palestine against occupation and aggression.”

The funeral gathered an impressive number of mourners, with hundreds of thousands attending to pay their respects to Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and his successor Sayyed Hashem Safieddine.
