Iran's Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, issued a statement following Israeli Occupation’s announcement of the assassination of Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah.

In the statement, Khamenei said, "The Zionist entity is too small to deliver a significant blow to Hezbollah's strong structure."

He emphasized that the future of the region is determined by resistance forces, led by Hezbollah, and criticized Israeli Occupation for failing to learn from its "criminal war in Gaza."

Khamenei affirmed that "all resistance forces in the region stand with Hezbollah" and called on all Muslims to support Lebanon and Hezbollah in facing Israeli Occupation.

He condemned the killing of civilians in Lebanon as evidence of Israeli Occupation's brutality and the shortsightedness of its leaders.
