Imam Reza Shrine to Hold Ceremony Concurrent with Nasrallah Funeral

IQNA – A ceremony expressing solidarity with the people of Lebanon is set to take place at the Imam Reza (AS) Shrine on Sunday, coinciding with the funeral of Martyr Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut.

Hojat-ol-Islam Hossein Shariatinejad, Deputy of the Islamic Ideology Dissemination Department at Astan Quds Razavi, provided details about the event, stating, "In the final days of the blessed month of Sha’ban, the Islamic world will witness the significant event of the funeral of the great mujahid, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, in Beirut, Lebanon."

The ceremony, titled "Ana Alal Ahd" (which translates to "I stand by my promise"), will include a live broadcast of the funeral from Beirut.

Scheduled to begin at 15:00 at Imam Khomeini Portico of the Imam Reza (AS) Shrine, the event will feature speeches, eulogies, and additional programs.

Shariatinejad invited residents of Mashhad and visiting pilgrims to attend, emphasizing that the gathering aims to honor the assassinated leaders and demonstrate support for the resistance movement.

The funeral procession for Nasrallah, and another senior Hezbollah official Sayed Hashem Safieddine, is set to take place on Sunday at 1:00 p.m. local time.

Nasrallah was martyred on September 27, 2024, in an Israeli airstrike that used American-made bunker buster bombs. Safieddine too was killed in an Israeli attack in October.
