According to the Iranian Tasnim News Agency, on the 28th local time, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei issued a statement on the occasion of the Iranian Defense Week and the two-year anniversary of the death of Hezbollah's former leader Hassan Nasrallah.
The statement says, “Today, some people regard us as the world's fourth-largest power. Of course, they say this based on secular calculations. But according to divine calculations, the Iranian people fearlessly defend truth. Such a country is the world's number one power.”
The statement indicates that Iran’s enemies have suffered a heavy blow, and “no longer dare to take a single step across the Arabian Sea.” In the near future, they will also be expelled from the Arabian Sea.
The statement also indicated that over the past seven months, the Iranian people have supported their country in a responsible manner, and these actions have boosted the morale of the military. Additionally, Nasrullah’s resistance has inspired Lebanon, and Hezbollah in Lebanon will continue to resist.
