  • Recognition of Resistance: He praised Lebanon for its resilient stance against the Israeli regime’s attempts to occupy southern Lebanon.
  • Restoration of Stability: “The enemy has retreated from southern Lebanon,” he noted, highlighting the restored security and stability in the region.

In addition to Qalibaf, other Iranian officials were present at the funeral, including Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi. He commented on the significance of the event, stating:

  • Continuing the Path of Resistance: Araqchi affirmed, “The path of resistance will keep moving forward,” emphasizing the historical victories of Hezbollah.
  • Legacy of Valor: He honored the two leaders, noting they dedicated their lives to combating Israeli occupation, achieving martyrdom in the process.

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. The gathering took place at Beirut stadium (the Camille Chamoun Sports City Stadium) and the adjacent streets starting at 9:00 a.m. local time (7:00 GMT) on Sunday.

As the situation evolves, the solidarity shown at this event reinforces the ties between Iran and Lebanon, highlighting the ongoing commitment to resistance in the face of external threats.
