He also noted that the funeral of the late Iranian president and his entourage, which was attended by millions of citizens, represented a "strong message to friends and foes because it showed great loyalty to the Iranian Republic," which proves that Iran can continue preparing for the elections.
Nasrallah said Iran has offered a refined model of how to overcome difficulties and achieve victory.
