Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is set to lead a commemoration service for slain Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah during Friday prayers in Tehran. Nasrallah was killed in an Israeli strike on the militant group’s underground headquarters in Beirut's southern suburbs a week ago. Alongside Nasrallah, a senior commander from Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Abbas Nilforoushan, was also killed in the attack.
The upcoming Friday prayers will also honor the memory of Abbas Nilforoushan and other Hezbollah commanders who lost their lives in the strike. This event marks a significant moment as it brings together the Iranian leadership to pay tribute to those who have fallen in the line of duty.
