Order for Israel’s assassination of Nasrallah issued from New York: Iranian President

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian says the international community will not forget that the order for Israel’s terrorist act to assassinate Secretary General of the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah was issued from New York.

In a statement on Saturday, Hezbollah confirmed the martyrdom of its leader in massive Israeli airstrikes targeting a group of residential buildings in southern Beirut on Friday.

The attacks took place as the Israeli regime's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu was addressing the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.

According to Iranian media, in a message of condolences on Saturday, Pezeshkian said the United States cannot absolve itself of complicity with the Zionists in the terror attack against the Hezbollah chief.

He added that Israel’s Friday terrorist attack on the Dahiyeh area in the south of Lebanon’s capital Beirut and the martyrdom of prominent figures of the resistance movement, particularly Nasrallah, will further strengthen the “tree of resistance."

The Iranian president noted that the Hezbollah leader was the pride of Muslims and the symbol of resistance and finally achieved his long-standing dream – martyrdom.

Pezeshkian said words cannot describe his bravery and continuous efforts to fight the enemies and added that Hezbollah will further shine after Nasrallah’s assassination.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the Israeli regime must watch in fear as the impact of Nasrallah’s blood leads to an even greater expansion of resistance

This is not the first time that the Israeli regime assassinated Hezbollah leaders and commanders but the “tree of resistance” will not stop growing, the top Iranian diplomat emphasized.

Araghchi expressed confidence that the “pure blood of the martyrs of the resistance will prepare the ground for the final victory and the liberation of Holy al-Quds” from the Zionist criminals.

Earlier on Saturday, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei said the brutal attacks by the “rabid Zionist dog” on Lebanon revealed the shortsightedness and foolish policies of Israeli officials, calling on all Muslims to unite behind Lebanese people and Hezbollah.
