Iran's supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei paid tribute to former Hezbollah secretary-general Hassan Nasrallah in a written statement marking the second anniversary of his killing in an Israeli strike.
"No man has emerged in this ancient land who has equaled him in greatness," he wrote, adding that Nasrallah's banner remains in the hands of his successor, Naim Qassem.
Nasrallah was killed on September 27, 2024, in an Israeli raid on Beirut's southern suburbs. Khamenei also described Lebanon's current days as "glorious" for the "resistance" fighters, and claimed that because of the "blows" dealt in the Strait of Hormuz, the Americans "no longer venture beyond the Arabian Sea."
The Revolutionary Guards also honored Nasrallah's memory, saying his "path continues," and reaffirmed their support for the "resistance front."
The remarks come as the war between Hezbollah and Israel resumed on March 2, 2026, in the wake of the Israeli-American offensive against Iran.
Despite a truce in late June, Israel still occupies more than 600 square kilometers of southern Lebanon. On Saturday, Donald Trump rejected a new Iranian proposal to reopen Hormuz within seven days.
Moroccan opponents of normalization with Israel wrapped up three days of protests against the kingdom's decision to upgrade relations to full embassies, even as Rabat moved forward with plans to exchange ambassadors and deepen economic ties.
Qatari mediators are expected to hold separate talks with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi in New York and with the US side on Monday or Tuesday, an official briefed on the negotiations told Reuters.
Israel's military intelligence has begun taking a hard look at the "Libya corridor" and Turkey's growing military and diplomatic influence in the region, the Jerusalem Post reports.
