Nasrallah, Safieddine symbols of 'graceful resistance': Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei has described martyred Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and his deputy and appointed successor Sayyed Hashem Safieddine as symbols of resistance.
Baghaei said on Sunday their steadfastness in support of the oppressed people of Palestine will always be remembered.
The spokesman made the remarks in a post on X as the funeral ceremonies of Nasrallah and Safieddine were being held in the Lebanese capital, Beirut, on Sunday.
“Nasrallah and Safieddine devoted their whole life to the cause of humanity and dignity by standing up against brutal occupation, oppression and injustice,” Baghaie said.
He went on to say that these two great men “symbolize graceful resistance” against occupation, aggression and support for the Palestinian people to achieve their fundamental right to self-determination.
"So let those fight in the way of Allah who exchange the life of this world for the Hereafter. And whoever fights in the way of Allah and is killed or victorious - We will give him a great reward."

“They are immortal now; every Muslim, and indeed every man/women of a good conscience, will always remember and exalt these devout heroes for their exemplary steadfastness, bravery and sacrifice in support of their fellow Muslims in occupied Palestine and for their patriotism and love of their homeland,” the spokesman said.
Baghaie further noted that today, peace-loving people across the globe and West Asia, alongside Muslims and the Lebanese people, will pay tribute to these two great martyrs.
"So let those fight in the way of Allah who exchange the life of this world for the Hereafter. And whoever fights in the way of Allah and is killed or victorious - We will give him a great reward," he said.
Nasrallah, the iconic leader of the Lebanese resistance, was assassinated in Israel’s strikes on southern Beirut on September 27, 2024, following the regime’s week-long bombing campaign that hit many areas from the country’s south to the capital.
Safieddine was also assassinated in an Israeli attack on October 3, 2024.
Hezbollah postponed funeral ceremonies for both leaders due to fears of Israeli attacks on the ceremony.
