An Iranian official tells the American NBC network that Tehran will begin registration for deploying forces to Lebanon in the coming days, following Israel’s strike that killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.
Ayatollah Mohammad Hassan Akhtari, Iran’s deputy for international affairs, says officials will grant permission for forces to be deployed in Lebanon and the Syrian side of the Golan Heights.
“We can send forces to Lebanon to fight against Israel, just as we did in the year 1981,” he says.
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei calls on Muslims “to stand by the people of Lebanon and the proud Hezbollah with whatever means they have and assist them in confronting the… wicked regime [of Israel].”
Khamenei, in a statement after the Israeli army said it had killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, says: “The fate of this region will be determined by the forces of resistance, with Hezbollah at the forefront,” state media reports.
Iran’s Foreign Ministry says the path of Hezbollah’s chief Hassan Nasrallah will continue despite his killing in an Israeli airstrike after a year of cross-border clashes between the two sides.
“The glorious path of the leader of the resistance, Hassan Nasrallah, will continue and his sacred goal will be realized in the liberation of Quds [Jerusalem], God willing,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanani writes in a post on social media X mourning his death.
In a long statement, Hamas extends its condolences to Hezbollah for the “martyrdom” of its leader Hassan Nasrallah in an Israeli airstrike last night.
“We offer our sincere condolences and solidarity to the brotherly Lebanese people and our brothers in Hezbollah and the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon,” Hamas writes.
“We condemn in the strongest terms the barbaric Zionist aggression and the targeting of residential buildings… in Beirut’s Dahiya,” the statement continues, referencing the southern suburb of the Lebanese capital where Nasrallah was killed, “which proves the brutality of the occupation, a rogue entity that disregards all international values and norms and has proceeded to blatantly threaten international security and peace.”
“We hold the Zionist occupation fully responsible for this heinous crime and its dangerous repercussions on the security and stability of the region, and the US administration responsible for its continued support [for Israel],” the statement reads.
IDF spokesperson says Nasrallah’s death ‘makes the world a safer place’
IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari says the killing of Hezbollah terror chief Hassan Nasrallah makes the world a safer place.
“Nasrallah was one of Israel’s greatest enemies, of all time. He posed a threat to Israeli citizens for decades, and his elimination makes the world a safer place,” he says.
“It’s not over, Hezbollah has more capabilities,” Hagari says, noting that fighter jets are currently hitting the terror group across Lebanon.
