Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah on Monday offered condolences to Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, and people for martyrdom of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and his comrades.
Tehran -ISNA- In a letter, Sayyed Nasrallah addressed Sayyed Ali Khamenei on behalf of Hezbollah, its Resistance fighters, the families of its martyrs and wounded, and the supporters of the Resistance.
“We share all the feelings and ramifications of the loss of these honorable leaders at this sensitive stage as you lead the Islamic nation in its bitter struggle with the forces of arrogance and hegemony,” the Hezbollah leader stressed.
He noted that Sayyed Raisi was “a loyal servant,” and his foreign minister, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, “carried the banner of defending the resistance in all international forums.”
“To us, and to all the oppressed, the resistance fighters, and the fighters on the path of righteousness, we extend our condolences and hope in your blessed presence, wise, guided, and courageous leadership,” Sayyed Nasrallah added.
“I ask Allah Almighty to prolong your noble life and to strengthen your pure heart to bear the pain of losing these loyal and sincere leaders, and to bestow patience, solace, and great reward upon their noble and honorable families, our dear and great Iranian people, and all the esteemed officials of the Islamic Republic, God willing,” he stressed.
It has been confirmed on Monday that Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi was martyred in a tragic helicopter crash on Sunday in the northwestern province of East Azerbaijan, following the return from the working trip. His entire entourage, including Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, Governor of East Azerbaijan Malek Rahmati, and Ayatollah Mohammad Ali Al-e Hashem, the Imam for Friday prayers in the city of Tabriz also perished.
