The chief of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement says late Iranian President Ebrahim Raeisi and former Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian played a major role in victories scored by the resistance factions.

The IRGC chief commander has praised Amir-Abdollahian as an individual who skillfully directed the diplomacy of resistance.

Dr. Amir-Abdollahian's exceptional skills were instrumental in propelling Iran to newfound heights of influence.

While the loss is hard to bear, we know the great nation of Iran, with the blessings of the martyrs' blood and guidance of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, will emerge stronger, writes Ali Akbar Salehi.

Interim foreign minister Ali Bagheri Kani says Iran observes the policy of good neighborliness as a strategic policy.

The UN office in Geneva hosted a memorial service for Iran's late president Ebrahim Raeisi and foreign minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, who lost their lives in a helicopter crash in northwestern Iran on Sunday.

Iran says there will be no disruption in its growing movement and its constructive regional and international roles despite the martyrdom of President Ebrahim Raeisi and his companions.
