FM: Nasrallah’s blood to further invigorate resistance
Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says the recent martyrdom of Secretary General of the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah will be followed by further invigoration of the regional Axis of Resistance.
“Undoubtedly, the blood of this great man will further strengthen the already robust resistance,” the top diplomat said during a telephone conversation with his Lebanese counterpart Abdallah Rashid Bou Habib on Saturday.
Araghchi hailed Nasrallah as a “courageous personality and an influential scholar,” who served an unparalleled role in stabilizing and developing the school of resistance against the oppressive and occupying Zionist regime.
The resistance leader was assassinated during the most recent stage of the regime’s escalation against Lebanon that saw it conducting dozens of airstrikes against the southern suburbs of the country’s capital Beirut.
The Iranian official expressed condolence on the part of the country’s people and administration to the Lebanese nation and government, considering Nasrallah’s martyrdom to be a great loss for the people of Lebanon, the region, and the world.
He described the assassination as a “cowardly” and “bestial” war crime that featured egregious violation of Lebanon’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Araghchi laid emphasis on the need for informing the international public opinion about the “ignominious atrocity” and documenting it at international and legal organizations.
The Islamic Republic’s diplomatic apparatus at home and abroad was prepared to help communicate the various aspects of this “sinister crime” as well as the aspects of the martyr’s significant personality to the international community, he concluded.
