On the 28th, Iran’s supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei issued a statement marking Iran Defense Week and the second anniversary of former HEZBOLLAH leader Nasrallah’s death. He said Iranians have supported the state responsibly over the past seven months, actions that have boosted military morale, and pledged to firmly defend the Strait of Hormuz. The statement added Nasrallah’s resistance is inspiring Lebanon, HEZBOLLAH will continue to resist, and Iran and the regional resistance front will ultimately prevail.
