Iran’s Khamenei slams ‘criminal’ Israel for killing Hezbollah’s Nasrallah

Supreme leader defiant after killing of Hassan Nasrallah, saying Israel had not seriously hurt Hezbollah’s ‘solid structure’.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has called on Muslims around the world to unite and “stand by the people of Lebanon and the proud Hezbollah”, following reports of the killing of the Lebanese group’s leader Hassan Nasrallah in an Israeli air strike on Friday.

In a statement issued on Saturday following Israel’s claim of the killing of Nasrallah, Khamenei described Israel’s policy as “short-sighted” and called the deadly strikes on Lebanon “criminal”.

“The Zionist criminals need to know that they are far too weak to be able to inflict any significant damage on the solid structure of Lebanon’s Hezbollah,” he said in a statement that was also posted on X.

“The massacre of the defenceless people in Lebanon once again … proved the short-sighted and stupid policy of the leaders of the usurping regime,” Khamenei added.
