Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei delivered a rare Friday prayer sermon in Tehran to honor the memory of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. This significant event marked the first time in nearly five years that Khamenei led Friday prayers for such a solemn occasion. The last time he did so was to commemorate the death of Qasem Soleimani, the revered commander of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, who was tragically killed in a US airstrike at Baghdad International Airport.
Following Nasrallah's recent death in an Israeli airstrike, Khamenei ordered a missile attack on Israel as a response. This move underscored the deep impact of Nasrallah's passing on Iran and its allies.
