Ayatollah Rafsanjani, a former president of Iran and chairman of the Expediency Council, died at a hospital in northern Tehran on Sunday at the age of 82 due to a heart condition.

Nasrallah on Monday offered his condolences over the demise of the senior Iranian cleric, stressing that Hezbollah will never forget his support in all stages of its history.
