Ayatollah Imam Khamenei, Leader of the Islamic Revolution, in a message on the occasion of the funeral and burial of the great Mujahid, Martyr Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah, and Sayyid Hashem Safi al-Din, while honouring these two great martyrs of resistance, emphasised: "The enemy must know that the resistance against usurpation, oppression, and arrogance is endless and will continue until its intended destination is reached."
The Leader's message reads as follows:
بسماللّهالرّحمنالرّحیم
قال اللّه عزّ و جل: وَ لِلّهِ العِزَّةُ وَ لِرَسولِهِ وَ لِلمُؤمِنینَ وَ لکِنَّ المُنافِقینَ لا یَعلَمون. (۱)
The great Striving and pioneering leader of resistance in the region, His Excellency Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah (may Allah exalt his position), is now at the pinnacle of dignity. His pure body will be laid to rest in the land of jihad for the sake of Allah, but his spirit and path will shine brighter each day, God Willing, guiding those who follow it. The enemy must know that the resistance against usurpation, oppression, and arrogance is endless and will continue until its intended destination is reached by Allah's will. The noble name and shiny face of Sayyid Hashem Safi al-Din (may Allah be pleased with him) is also a shining star in the history of this region. He was a close companion and an inseparable part of the leadership of the resistance in Lebanon. God's peace and the blessings of His righteous servants be upon these two proud Strivings and upon all the other brave and self-sacrificing fighters who were martyred in recent times and upon all the martyrs of Islam—a special greeting to you, my dear children, the valiant youth of Lebanon.
Sayyid Ali Khamenei
