At a Tehran conference commemorating 40 days since the martyrdom of Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf lauded the martyred Hezbollah leader for his foundational role in the organization and his unwavering defense of Palestine as an Islamic cause.

Ghalibaf emphasized that Nasrallah’s enduring legacy continues to instill fear in "Israel", with his words remaining a constant source of dread for Zionists.

"Sayyed Nasrallah brought fear to the enemy for decades, his words continue to be a nightmare for Zionists," he said.

The top Iranian official highlighted Hezbollah's pivotal Resistance in preventing Israeli advancements in South Lebanon and underscored the movement's crucial role in the defeat of ISIS.

Ghalibaf asserted that this achievement should not be overlooked, stressing that Europe owes its current security to Hezbollah’s efforts in dismantling the terrorist organization, "Europe must realize that it owes its security due to Hezbollah's role in defeating ISIS," he stressed.

Ghalibaf also warned "Israel" that Nasrallah’s martyrdom could prove even more threatening to them than his life.

"Zionists must know that Sayed Nasrallah the martyr will be more dangerous to them in his martyrdom than in his lifetime," he stressed.

In parallel, the top Iranian official paid tribute to martyr Yahya Sinwar for his relentless commitment to defending the Resistance, further cautioning that "aggression on Gaza, Lebanon will expand if Zionists not kept in check."

Expressing confidence in Hezbollah’s mission, Ghalibaf predicted a future victory for the Resistance in Al-Quds.

"We will doubtless celebrate the victory of the Resistance in Al-Quds," the Iranian Parliament speaker confirmed.

In his closing remarks, Ghalibaf pointed to "Israel's" most significant humiliation: Its military’s failure to make any advances in Lebanon, despite its violent bombings and targeted killings of Hezbollah leaders.

"The greatest humiliation of the Zionist entity lay in its forces' inability to advance into Lebanon despite barbaric bombings and killing of Hezbollah's leaders", he stressed.

Martyr Sayyed Nasrallah and fallen leaders strengthen the Resistance front

In a similar context, Iranian leader Sayyed Ali Khamenei hailed the martyred Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, who, with his courage, wisdom, and patience, took the movement to a whole new level of strength, he said.

Sayyed Khamenei said that martyr Sayyed Nasrallah and the martyred leaders doubled the strength of the Resistance front.

"Hezbollah experienced extraordinary growth thanks to Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah's reliance on God and his courage, wisdom, and patience," he said.

He also emphasized that "Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah left behind a lasting legacy which is Hezbollah," adding that, "Hezbollah has forced Zionist regime to retreat on various occasions in past 40 years."

November 6th marked the 40th day since the martyrdom of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah. All the statements issued since his martyrdom continue to affirm that even though he is gone, his legacy and the foundations he built for the Resistance are here to stay.
