They made diligent efforts in solidarity and support in all forums and fields for our people in the steadfast Gaza Strip during the battle of Al-Aqsa Flood, and their intense political and diplomatic efforts to stop the Zionist aggression against our Palestinian people.
We are confident that the Islamic Republic of Iran will be able, by Allah's will, to overcome the repercussions of this great loss, as the dear Iranian people possess well-established institutions capable of dealing with this severe ordeal.

"Those who, when disaster strikes them, say, 'Indeed we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we will return.' Those are the ones upon whom are blessings from their Lord and mercy. And it is those who are the [rightly] guided."
This is the Truth of Allah the Almighty.
On the occasion of the painful event that led to the martyrdom of His Eminence Ayatollah Seyed Ibrahim Raisi, President of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and the dear brother Dr. Hussein Amir-Abdollahian, the Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic and the representative of His Eminence Imam Khamenei in the province of Azerbaijan, Ayatollah Sayyed Mohammad Ali Al-Hashem, along with other distinguished brothers, Hezbollah in Lebanon extends its deepest condolences and sympathies for their loss.
Condolences first to our Lord and Master, the Remainder of Allah on His Earth, the Owner of the Age and Time (Imam Mahdi), peace be upon him, to His Eminence Grand Ayatollah Imam Leader Seyed Ali Khamenei, may his shadow remain, to our great jurists, to the officials of the Islamic Republic, the patient and dear Iranian people, particularly to their noble and struggling families, and also to the Muslims and free people of the world.
We have known His Eminence the martyred President closely for a long time; he was a big brother to us, a strong support, and a staunch defender of our causes and the causes of the nation, foremost among them Al-Quds and Palestine, and a protector of the resistance movements and their fighters in all the positions of responsibility he held. He was a loyal and sincere servant of the dear Iranian people and the proud Islamic Republic system, and a loyal supporter of His Eminence the Imam Leader, may his shadow endure, and he was a great hope for all the oppressed and wronged.
Similarly, the dear martyred brother Dr. Hussein Amir-Abdollahian, in all his positions of responsibility, the last of which was in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, was a present, active, and sacrificial minister, carrying the flag in all political and diplomatic forums in the world and a lover of resistance movements and dedicated to their support and advocacy.
We ask God Almighty to envelop these great martyrs in His vast mercy, to favor them with His satisfaction and proximity, and to grant us all the preservation, safety, and longevity of His Eminence the beloved Imam Leader, may his shadow endure, and to bless the Islamic Republic and its leaders and people with overcoming this ordeal with beautiful patience and a firm determination to continue on the path of the great late Imam Khomeini and all the martyrs.

The martyrdom of the president and his minister of foreign affairs represents a great loss for the Islamic Republic due to their important and distinguished presence in Iran's journey and its ongoing presence on the international and regional political stage. Their loss is also a great loss for the Palestinian people during these difficult times, as they played a prominent and clear role in supporting and backing the struggle and resistance of the Palestinian people, and in confronting the ongoing criminal Zionist aggression.
We are certain that the Islamic Republic of Iran is capable of overcoming this painful ordeal, as it has overcome all difficulties and challenges throughout its decades-long history. We ask Allah Almighty to accept these blessed souls, to envelop them in His vast mercy, and to grant them paradise.
