Resistance Strengthened by Sinwar’s Struggle: Iran’s UN Mission


TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iran’s Permanent Mission to the United Nations said the determination shown by Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, whom the Israeli regime claims to have killed in Gaza, has strengthened the spirit of resistance.

“When US forces dragged a disheveled Saddam Hussein out of an underground hole, he begged them not to kill him despite being armed. Those who regarded Saddam as their model of resistance eventually collapsed,” the Iranian mission said in a post on its X account on Friday morning.

“However, when Muslims look up to Martyr Sinwar standing on the battlefield -in combat attire and out in the open, not in a hideout, facing the enemy- the spirit of resistance will be strengthened,” it added.

“He will become a model for the youth and children who will carry forward his path toward the liberation of Palestine. As long as occupation and aggression exist, resistance will endure, for the martyr remains alive and a source of inspiration,” the UN mission stated.

Hamas has not commented on Israel’s claim of killing Sinwar, which came on Thursday as the region slides into further violence, spurring fears of an all-out conflict across the Middle East.
