He said those who once sought to dominate Iran have\u00a0been forced to confront the country\u2019s military capabilities, adding that Iran\u2019s defense capabilities have fundamentally changed the balance compared with previous decades.<\/p>\n<p>The Leader further praised the participation of different segments of Iranian society in supporting the country\u2019s defense and said women have increasingly demonstrated a prominent role in courageous public participation. He also emphasized that various social groups have stood behind Iran\u2019s legitimate positions, including its stance on the Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n<p>Ayatollah Khamenei said the country\u2019s current achievements should also be viewed in light of the sacrifices of Imam Khomeini (RA) and martyred Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, whose leadership contributed to Iran\u2019s present standing. He added that their legacy would help shape a stronger future.<\/p>\n<p>The Leader then paid tribute to Seyed Hassan Nasrallah on the second anniversary of his martyrdom, describing him as a prominent figure of the resistance front and a sincere advocate of the Lebanese people and the cause he represented.<\/p>\n<p>He praised Nasrallah\u2019s speeches and actions, saying they strengthened the resolve of his supporters and Resistance forces and raised Lebanon\u2019s standing in the region. Ayatollah\u00a0Khamenei also highlighted Nasrallah\u2019s role in the history of the resistance and said his legacy continues under Hezbollah Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassem.<\/p>\n<p>He said the current period in Lebanon would remain an important chapter in the history of the resistance, adding that the sacrifices of Nasrallah, Seyed Hashem Safieddine and other Resistance fighters would continue to influence future generations.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, he expressed hope that the Iranian nation and all allies of the Resistance Movement will encounter nothing but victory, triumph, and honor, while their enemies face nothing but defeat and humiliation.<\/p>\n<p>MNA<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/en.mehrnews.com\/news\/248152\/Leader-s-message-on-Sacred-Defense-Week-martyr-Nasrallah\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Leader of the Islamic Revolution made the remarks on the occasion of Sacred Defense Week (Iraqi imposed war against Iran 1980-1988) and also the second martyrdom anniversary of former Secretary General of Hezbollah Resistance Movement Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah, emphasizing that the enemy\u2019s dream to defeat Iran in all fields will not come true and &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":38724,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-38723","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hamsonews.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38723","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hamsonews.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hamsonews.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hamsonews.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hamsonews.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=38723"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hamsonews.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38723\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hamsonews.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/38724"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hamsonews.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=38723"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hamsonews.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=38723"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hamsonews.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=38723"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
