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.

In a message delivered following the martyrdom of Sayyed Nasrallah, who was killed in a massive Israeli air raid on Friday, Sayyed Khamenei declared a five-day mourning period in Iran.

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.

The Israeli regime 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.
