Iran Press/ West Asia: The Martyrdom of Sayyed Raisi and his companions resembles a great loss for the resistance front, said Nasrallah in his speech, adding, "We should introduce martyrs to our youths as models to follow."
Referring to Ebrahim Raisi and his companions, Nasrallah added, "These individuals are known for their sincerity and dedication, particularly the respected Martyr President of the Republic and the Martyred Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Sending deep condolences to Shiit's twelve Imam Mahdi (AS), Ayatollah Khamenei, Iranian officials, and the Iranian people, he added, "The martyrdom of loyal and honorable Iranian officials is a very saddening and painful and great loss for the resistance front."
Hezbollah leader in a televised speech noted, "We understand the profound impact of their absence, knowing they will never be among us again, and offer our heartfelt condolences to their families of all the martyrs."
Sayed Nasrallah said, "We stand in solidarity with the Iranian people, their officials, and every individual affected by this tragedy, our condolences extend not only to the families of the departed but to all who feel the weight of this loss."
"The recent tragic incident in Iran deeply saddened us, we mourn the loss of esteemed leaders and Mujahideen, whose guidance and compassion were invaluable during the critical phase in our ongoing struggle against Enemy and hostile forces."
Raisi worked tirelessly to serve the people of Iran and counter cruel sanctions on his country. As a president of the Islamic Republic, Raisi had no day off. He moved from one province to another and walked among people to solve their problems.
We are in the days of the Resistance and Liberation Holiday, and this painful incident occurred, so we entered an atmosphere of sadness and loss, Nasrallah highlighted.

He noted that Raeisi faced both political and economic challenges amid the blockade and sanctions imposed on Iran.
Martyred Amir-Abdollahian Remembered for His Love and Support
The Hezbollah chief also paid tribute to late Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, who was on board the crashed helicopter, saying he had a great love for Palestine, Lebanon, and all resistance groups in the region.
Also, Nasrallah stated that the mass funeral of President Raeisi and his companions delivered a message of loyalty and allegiance to the path of Ayatollah Khamenei in Iran. He added that it also showed Iran as a powerful and cohesive state.
The Hezbollah leader emphasized that the people's participation at the funeral of martyrs demonstrates support for the resistance in the region. He dismissed accusations of Hezbollah losing popularity, stating that a local funeral of a Hezbollah martyr in south Lebanon is more popular than a central ceremony celebrated by any other Lebanese power. 204
