Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei condemned Saturday Israel's "short-sighted and foolish policies" after strikes on Lebanon that Israel claimed killed Hezbollah's chief Hassan Nasrallah.
"The massacre of the defenceless people in Lebanon once again revealed the ferocity of the Zionist rabid dog to everyone, and proved the short-sighted and stupid policy of the leaders of the usurping regime," Khamenei said in a statement, adding that "the Zionist regime had failed to learn from its year-long criminal war in Gaza" and was now repeating the same mistakes in Lebanon.
Along these lines, he asserted that Iran and its allied groups remain united in support of Hezbollah, stressing that "the fate of this region will be determined by the Resistance forces, with Hezbollah at their forefront."
Hezbollah has not yet released an official statement on the fate of Nasrallah.
