Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf stated, on Sunday, that the martyrdom of Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah will surely have a significant impact on the Axis of Resistance; however, this loss will not diminish the resolve of the Resistance. Instead, it will serve to reinforce its determination.
Ghalibaf made these remarks during an open session of the Shura Council, preceding a closed session meant to discuss the implications of the Israeli occupation's assassination of Sayyed Nasrallah.
The Iranian Parliament's Speaker stated, "If the Resistance were to be defeated by the martyrdom of its leaders, we would not have witnessed the victories of the Axis of Resistance after the martyrdom of Qassem Soleimani."
He also emphasized that "the Zionist enemy has made mistakes in its calculations," and that "this mistake will lead to its defeat."
Iran 'will not hesitate to assist Resistance'
Ghalibaf added that his country "will not hesitate to assist the Resistance at any level in accordance with the religious rulings of the Leader of the Revolution and the Islamic Republic, Sayyed Ali Khamenei."
It is worth noting that a mourning ceremony was held this morning in the Islamic Shura Council (Iranian Parliament) Hall following the martyrdom of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.

At the outset of the closed session of the Islamic Shura Council, council representatives gathered to mourn the martyr, expressing their solidarity and commitment through chants. The atmosphere was charged with emotion as they shouted slogans such as "Death to America," "We are with you, Nasrallah," reflecting their unwavering support for the Resistance movement and their determination to honor the memory of the martyr.
Sayyed Khamenei: Sayyed Nasrallah's blood will not be shed in vain
The teachings of martyr Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah, will live on, and "strikes of the Resistance on the decaying body of the Zionist entity will become more severe," the leader of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, Sayyed Ali Khamenei stated on Saturday.
The Iranian leader extended his condolences to martyr Sayyed Nasrallah's wife, children, the cadres of Hezbollah, the beloved Lebanese people, and the entire Axis of Resistance.
"Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah was martyred while striving to defend the defenseless residents of the southern suburbs (of Beirut), just as he struggled for years to protect the Palestinian people, their occupied cities, and their destroyed homes," Sayyed Khamenei wrote.
Iran's leader underlined that the principles established by the martyred Hezbollah leader in Lebanon have also "guided other centers of Resistance" elsewhere.
"These principles will not diminish [after his martyrdom]; rather, they will be strengthened by his pure blood," Sayyed Khamenei added.
"The Islamic world has lost a great figure — the standard-bearer of Resistance — while Hezbollah has lost an unparalleled leader, yet the blessings of his decades-long Jihad will not go to waste," he underlined.
Pointing to the former Hezbollah leader, martyr Sayyed Abbas al-Mousawi who was assassinated in 1992, and the advances the Resistance has achieved since, the Iranian leader said that Sayyed Nasrallah's martyrdom will also not go in vain.
He stressed that the Israeli regime did not achieve a victory by executing such a crime.
"Israel" launched a treacherous air raid on the Southern Suburb of Beirut leveling several buildings, in a strike that dozens fell victim to, on Friday. Hezbollah announced the martyrdom of Sayyed Nasrallah on Saturday afternoon, pledging to remain steadfast on the path drawn out by the leader throughout the several decades that he served as Secretary-General to the Resistance party.
