Iran`s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei urged Muslims to support Hezbollah following the reported death of its leader, Hassan Nasrallah, in Israeli strikes. Khamenei emphasized the importance of standing with Hezbollah against Israel, framing the conflict as pivotal for the region`s future. His statement came after Iranian media announced the death of General Abbas Nilforoushan, a high-ranking member of Iran`s Revolutionary Guards, alongside Nasrallah in the attacks on south Beirut. Amid rising tensions, sources indicated that Khamenei has been moved to a secure location within Iran, with enhanced security measures in place. Iranian authorities are reportedly maintaining close communication with Hezbollah and other allied groups to strategize their response to Nasrallah`s death. This incident marks a significant escalation in regional hostilities, raising concerns about further conflicts involving Iranian-backed forces.
