Syed Hassan Nasrallah’s martyrdom is remembered as a passion, a storm, and a thought. He was the trustee of Imam Khomeini’s thought. Through his martyrdom, Hassan Nasrallah has given new colour to the revolution. He has become a global hero of resistance, a leader who does not rely merely on strength or power to assist the oppressed, but who steps into the battlefield, standing firm against oppression. Hassan Nasrallah’s relentless struggle and tireless efforts have brought Hezbollah to a point where neither Israel, the United States, nor their allies could overcome the sacrifices, passions, and martyrdoms of Hezbollah. May Allah’s blessings be upon this sincere, intelligent, and courageous leader.
With every drop of blood shed by Hassan Nasrallah and Ismail Haniyeh, the resistance movement will rise to sweep Israel away. The geopolitical situation is shifting rapidly. Until recently, the Western world wondered if any Muslim nation could challenge Israel. But with this strike, Iran has shown the world that there is a country with the strength, competence, and courage to confront Israel and the Zionist forces. It has also sent a clear message to those who speak of human rights, the United Nations, and international law: Iran knows how to respect international norms and humanity both in war and in peace. Iran’s leadership, even in conflict, avoided targeting civilians. Instead, it upheld humanitarian standards by focusing its strikes on Mossad’s headquarters and military bases. Iranian media reports indicate that three military bases near Tel Aviv were targeted, with 20 F-35 aircraft destroyed at Israel’s Navatam military base. Iranian Revolutionary Guard forces also targeted Israeli gas platforms in the Mediterranean, claiming that 90 percent of their missiles successfully hit their targets. Ayatollah Khamenei warned that the next attack will be even more painful. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard has declared that this attack is revenge for the martyrdom of Hassan Nasrallah and Ismail Haniyeh. If the Zionist state retaliates, it will face even more devastating consequences.
Israel, in response, has issued severe threats to Iran, warning that Iran will pay a heavy price for the attack and that Israel will choose the time and place of its counterattack. While it remains uncertain when or where Israel will strike, or what form that attack will take, one thing is clear: following Hassan Nasrallah’s martyrdom, the scope of this war has widened. This is the beginning of a long and destructive conflict. If Muslim countries do not play their part and continue with a policy of expediency and self-interest, the outcome will be disastrous for all. The fates of Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, and Palestine serve as clear reminders.
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, while speaking at the United Nations, warned of a protracted war. He displayed two maps: one that included India, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Egypt, and other nations, describing them as part of the path to prosperity, and a second map, showing Iran, Lebanon, and Yemen, labelling them as threats to the world. This is yet another sinister and despicable attempt to divide the Muslim Ummah. Netanyahu essentially offered the world two choices: support Israel and enjoy all the privileges, comforts, and luxuries the world has to offer, or oppose Israel, support Palestine, Gaza, Lebanon, and Yemen, and face a world of misery and suffering. Now is the time for the Muslim Ummah to make a decision. Neutrality is no longer an option. It is time to rise against oppression.
After the martyrdom of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, it was expected that Iran would retaliate against Israel. However, Iran initially showed restraint and warned Israel against targeting Iran’s leadership and Hezbollah. But when Israel continued its aggression and martyred Hassan Nasrallah, Iran responded with 200 rockets to avenge the deaths of both Hassan Nasrallah and Ismail Haniyeh. Israel has long been committing atrocities against Palestinians, and even the most powerful nations have failed to hold Israel accountable. By launching its attack on Israel, Iran has demonstrated that it has the strength, capability, and conviction to wage this war.
In response to the tragic martyrdom of the Mujahid, scholar, and leader of Hezbollah, the great leader of the Islamic world, Martyr of Al-Quds Seyed Hassan Nasrallah, and Martyr of Al-Quds General Hajj Abbas Nilfroushan, a funeral prayer and condolence program were held at Khana Farhang, the Islamic Republic of Iran’s cultural centre in Karachi. The speakers at this event emphasized that all the brave people of the world stand in solidarity with Hezbollah, Hamas, and Gaza, and that this message has now spread globally. In the coming days, the zealous Muslim Ummah will convey its message to America and Israel through rallies, gatherings, and processions, showing that the time has come for the destruction of Israel, as Imam Khomeini had envisioned.
The speakers further stressed that this has opened the door to jihad and martyrdom for Muslims. The Muslim Ummah must atone for its past negligence, rise above the divisions of religion, race, and sect, cast off the shackles of humiliation, and become part of the movement initiated by Hamas and Hezbollah. With the great sacrifice of martyrdom, the tyrannical and oppressive state of Israel will soon be wiped from existence. The martyrdom of millions cannot be avenged by the deaths of a few Israeli soldiers; the real solution lies in erasing Israel from the face of existence. As the Supreme Leader of the Revolution has declared, the outcome of this war will be determined by Hezbollah, and the spirit, courage, and passion in these Mujahideen are now stronger than ever.
