Iran’s Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf delivered a powerful message on Tuesday, asserting that the recent grand funeral for the former Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and Sayyed Hashem Safieddine,demonstrated the enduring strength and unity of the resistance movement in Lebanon.
Describing the ceremony as magnificent and historic, Qalibaf noted that the high turnout of sayyed Nasrallah’s followers underscored widespread public support for Hezbollah, sending a clear signal to the world that the fight against tyranny and occupation cannot be extinguished by acts of violence or assassination.
“The overwhelming and dignified farewell for Martyr Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and Martyr Sayyed Hashem Safieddine was a testament to the unity of the resistance and the people’s unshakable support,” he remarked.
Qalibaf likened Sayyed Nasrallah’s leadership to a “radiant sun” that illuminated the path for his followers, stressing that his legacy of defiance against oppression and occupation could not be extinguished by assassination.
The speaker emphasized that sayyed Nasrallah is cherished by both men and women who hold steadfast in the face of adversaries. Witnessing the remarkable turnout at the funeral only reinforced his belief that the divine path of resistance cannot be silenced by enemies or criminals.
“I saw men and women who held an unbreakable devotion to their leader, with no fear of the enemy and no trace of despair. Their faith in Islam, in the teachings of Imam Hussein [AS] and Zainab [SA], and in the resistance’s cause remains unshaken,” he said.
In the political sphere, Qalibaf highlighted that the display of solidarity at the funeral indicates that the adversaries of the resistance cannot diminish its significance or role within Lebanon’s public and security landscape. He reaffirmed that Hezbollah is a vital component of the national strength and a protector of the country’s security and territorial integrity.
Qalibaf concluded that Iran believes national consensus is essential for Lebanon’s security, stability, and progress; therefore, the Islamic Republic advocates for any agreement among the Lebanese government, parliament, and resistance.
