Nasrallah Funeral Testament to Continuation of Path of Resistance: Iran FM

IQNA – Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the funeral procession that is going to be held for Sayed Hassan Nasrallah is a testament to the continuation of the path of resistance.

Araghchi made the remark after arriving at the international airport in Beirut Sunday morning to attend the funeral of Nasrallah and Sayed Hashem Safieddine, another senior Hezbollah figure. 

He said the event proves that resistance and Hezbollah are alive and remain faithful to their cause.

The path of resistance will continue and as it has achieved many victories until now, it will accomplish the ultimate victory as well, he stated.

These two martyrs are two of the most courageous and pure children of Lebanon who made many sacrifices for the sake of elevating the resistance and struggle against occupation and forcing the Zionists out of occupied lands, Araghchi went on to say.

Noting that Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf is also going to attend the funeral, the foreign minister added that many Iranian officials and people were willing to participate in this event to bid farewell to the two heroes of resistance.

Lebanon is expected to come to a halt for a few hours on Sunday for the funeral of Nasrallah and Safieddine, which is scheduled for 1 pm (11:00 GMT) at the Camille Chamoun sports stadium on the outskirts of Beirut.

Nasrallah was martyred on September 27 in an Israeli air strike in a southern suburb of Beirut that used American-made bunker buster bombs.

Safieddine led Hezbollah for one week after Nasrallah’s death before he was also martyred in an Israeli attack in October.
