Hezbollah Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassem recalled on Sunday late Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi’s “journey of giving” on the first anniversary of his martyrdom along with his companions in a helicopter crash last year.
In remarks carried by Al-Manar, Sheikh Qassem said the late president is revered to as a “great asset for Iran”, stressing that Palestine “was in his heart and mind.”
“This journey is a journey of giving, and we salute this great man who held sensitive positions in his life. In all these positions, Ayatollah Sayyed Raisi has not changed,” Sheikh Qassem said.
“The achievements of martyr Sayyed Raisi, who served under the leadership of Imam Khamenei, are the product of Imam Khomeini’s cultivation,” the Hezbollah S.G. said, referring to the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei and the late founder of the Islamic Revolution Imam Sayyed Rouhullah Khomeini.
Sheikh Qassem praised the late Iranian president as “one of the most important people who supported the resistance in Lebanon” and the region.
“The resistance in Lebanon was always one of his main concerns. He always asked after Master of the Ummah’s Martyrs, Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah. He even asked about details in this regard,” the Hezbollah leader added.
“We are honored to be on the front of honor, on the front of resistance, with Palestine, Lebanon, Islamic Iran, and all the honorable resistance fighters in the region,” Sheikh Qassem concluded his remarks.
