Iran (IMNA) - He characterized the attack as "legal and legitimate," framing it within Iran's right to self-defense. The sermon coincided with a commemoration ceremony for Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, who was killed in an Israeli airstrike in Beirut. Ayatollah Khamenei referred to Nasrallah as "my brother, my dear and my pride, the beloved face of the Islamic world, and the eloquent language of the nations of the region," emphasizing his importance to both Iran and its allies.
"I felt it necessary to pay tribute to Mr. Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah (May God bless him and grant him peace) in the Friday prayer in Tehran, and to convey some notifications to everyone,” the leader stated. He noted that his message was directed not only at Iran but also aimed at "the dear nation of Lebanon and Palestine."
This sermon marked Ayatollah seyyed Ali Khamenei Khamenei's first Friday prayer leadership since January 2020 when he addressed the nation following Iran's missile strikes on a U.S. army base in Iraq. The recent missile strike is seen as a direct retaliation against Israel for its actions against Iranian-supported groups and leaders in the region, highlighting the ongoing tensions between Iran and Israel.
As the situation unfolds, Iranian officials have indicated that further military responses could follow if Israel continues its aggressive policies. The implications of this escalation are profound, as they not only affect regional stability but also reflect Iran's commitment to supporting its allies in the face of perceived threats.
