Iran’s Parliament Speaker Condoles Hezbollah on Commander Martyrdom
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani expressed condolences to the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement over the martyrdom of its top military commander Mustafa Badreddine.
In a message to Hezbollah Secretary General Seyed Hassan Nasrallah on Saturday, Larijani offered the Islamic Republic’s condolences to Hezbollah and the family and comrades of Badreddine, whom he praised for spending his whole life on the frontline of the anti-Israeli resistance.
He also said that the martyrdom of the top commander will only stiffen the resolve of the resistance forces in their battle against the Zionist regime and its terrorist allies.
The Iranian parliament speaker went on to say that Badreddine was not only active on the military front but also made valuable contributions to promote “cultural Jihad”.
Mustafa Badreddine was martyred in a massive explosion near Damascus International Airport on Thursday, in an attack Hezbollah later said had been carried out by “Takfiri groups”.
He was the commander of Hezbollah's military arm, its chief of intelligence, and adviser to Nasrallah.
Badreddine was also the cousin and brother-in-law of the top Hezbollah commander, Imad Mughniyeh, who was assassinated by the Israeli regime in Damascus in 2008.
