Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei sent his condolences to Hizbullah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah on Thursday over the assassination of one of the militant group's top commanders, who he hailed as a "great man". "Dear brother... I congratulate and offer my condolences on this great martyrdom to you, his family, the Hizbullah youth and all
Lebanese," Khamenei said in the message to Nasrallah after the martyrdom of Imad Moghnieh.
"It should make the Lebanese people proud to have given the world such great men in the fields of seeking freedom and fighting cruelty," he added in the message read on state television. "Those men (referring to the martyrs) are of high quality in which the whole nation should bow before", his eminence said.
"The bloodthirsty Zionist criminals should know that the pure blood of martyrs like Moghnieh will create hundreds more like Moghnieh," said Sayyed Khamenei. "It will increase resistance against corruption and atrocities twofold," his eminence added.
