Hezbollah of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the leadership and people, congratulated the election of Ayatollah Sayyed Mojtaba Khamenei as the third leader of the Islamic Revolution, succeeding Imam Ali al-Husseini Khamenei, whom the party described as “the leader of the nation’s martyrs,” stressing that his career spanned decades of jihad and leadership that preserved the path of the revolution and established the path of pride and independence in the face of international powers. In a statement issued by it, the “party” saluted the role played by the Leadership Council of Experts in Iran, pointing to the historical responsibility that the Council assumed by accelerating the election of a new leader of the revolution and a guardian of the nation, despite the difficult circumstances and security tensions that the country is going through. The party considered that the election of Mojtaba Khamenei sends a clear message to Iran's opponents that the Islamic Republic, with its leadership and people, is capable of overcoming challenges and pressures, and that attempts to target it will not succeed in breaking the will of the Iranian people or the course of the revolution. Hezbollah renewed its congratulations and its affirmation of continuing to support the approach of the Islamic Revolution, wishing success to the new leader in assuming his responsibilities and continuing the path established by Imam Khomeini, in a way that preserves the strength and stability of the Islamic Republic.
