Resistance leaders’ funeral ‘lasting epic’ in history of West Asia, Lebanon: Iran top general

Iran’s Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces Major General Mohammad Baqeri says the funeral and burial ceremony of the martyrs of the Resistance Front turned into an endurable epic in the history of the West Asia region and Lebanon.

On Sunday, massive crowds from various regions of Lebanon and around the world converged in Beirut to attend the historic funeral procession for Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, the late leader of the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement, and his deputy and appointed successor Sayyed Hashem Safieddine.

“The ceremony was the symbol of the Lebanese people’s gratitude towards the resistance leader,” Baqeri said in an address to a national conference on the Sacred Defense on Monday.

He added that the “unparalleled epic” of the two Hezbollah icons’ funeral reflected their greatness in establishing and developing the anti-Zionist resistance and shaping the “heroic Hezbollah.”

Iran’s IRGC says heroic Hezbollah and triumphant resistance will thrive to end the occupation of Muslims’ territories.

“The funeral ceremony in Beirut symbolizes the gratitude of the Lebanese people, and the ceremonies throughout Iran represent the appreciation of the Iranian nation for these noble individuals,” the top Iranian general remarked.

Baqeri added that the ceremonies also served as a basis for the development of the resistance ideology in the Muslim world.

In a message that was read out during the funeral ceremonies of the two Hezbollah martyrs, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei warned the enemy that the enduring resistance against oppression and arrogance will continue until it achieves its ultimate objective.
