IRAN’S Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has reportedly been moved to a safe and secure location after Israel confirmed on Saturday that it has eliminated Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah in airstrikes conducted by its fighter jets in the Daha area of Beirut late Friday. Khamenei (85), a former President of the country who took over the role as country’s ‘Supreme Leader’ in 1989, has fully backed terror organisations Hezbollah and Hamas over the last many decades. “All the Resistance forces in the region stand with and support Hezbollah.

 

The Resistance forces will determine the fate of this region with the honourable Hezbollah leading the way,” a statement issued by Khamenei’s account on X said on Saturday afternoon which was his first reaction to Israel’s overnight attack on Lebanon. Without commenting on Nasrallah’s fate, he also said that Friday’s strikes will not be able to inflict any significant damage on the “solid structure” of Lebanon’s Hezbollah. “The Lebanese haven’t forgotten there was a time when the soldiers of the occupying regime were advancing toward Beirut, & Hezbollah stopped them & made Lebanon proud. Today too, by the grace & power of God, Lebanon will make the transgressing, malicious enemy regret its actions,” he added.
