A four-member delegation representing the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei, arrived in Beirut to attend the funeral of martyred Hezbollah Secretaries General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah and Sayyed Hashem Safieddine.
The delegation, led by the leader’s representative in Iraq, Ayatollah Sayyed Mojtaba Al-Husseini, included Ayatollah Sheikh Mohammad Hasan Akhtari, Sheikh Mohsen Qomi, and Sayyed Reza Taqavi.
In a letter recited by Ayatollah Husseini, Imam Khamenei paid tribute to Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah, describing him as “a great mujahid and a pioneering resistance leader in the region.” His eminence declared that “Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah (God bless his soul) has now reached the pinnacle of honor. His pure body is laid to rest in the land of jihad for the sake of Allah, but his soul and his path will shine ever brighter with each passing day, illuminating the way for those who follow.”
Addressing the Israeli enemy, Imam Khamenei affirmed that “resistance against oppression, tyranny, and arrogance will endure and will not cease until the ultimate goal is achieved, God willing.”
He also honored martyred Secretary General Sayyed Hashem Safieddine, saying, “His blessed name and luminous face will remain a shining star in the history of this region. He was a loyal and devoted supporter, an inseparable part of the leadership of the resistance in Lebanon.”
Imam Khamenei concluded his letter with a heartfelt tribute: “May the peace of Allah and His righteous servants be upon these two towering fighters and upon all the courageous resistance fighters who have recently risen as martyrs, as well as upon all the martyrs of Islam. I send my special greetings to you, my dear sons, the valiant youth of Lebanon.”

In parallel, the funeral ceremony is being broadcast live at Imam Reza’s shrine in Mashhad, where dozens of Iranians have gathered to pay their respects to the two revered martyrs.
