Tehran, April 1 (SocialNews.XYZ) Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has sent a message to Hezbollah chief Naim Qassem, pledging continued support for the resistance against the United States and Israel, the semi-official Fars news agency reported early Wednesday.
In his message, Iran's supreme leader appreciated Qassem's condolences and sympathy for the "martyrdom" of his father, Iran's former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in a US-Israeli airstrike in Tehran on February 28.
Khamenei said steadfastness and resistance against the Muslim world's "most stubborn enemies," namely, the United States and Israel, were among the most prominent characteristics of Iran's former supreme leader, Xinhua news agency reported.
He praised late Hezbollah leaders for their fights, bravery and sacrifices.
Khamenei said he has confidence in Qassem's wisdom, intelligence and courage to thwart the plans of Israel and restore honor and prosperity to the Lebanese people.
Iran's Assembly of Experts on March 8 announced the selection of Mojtaba Khamenei as the country's new supreme leader.
Meanwhile, Iran's Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) said that it had hit an Israeli container ship in the Persian Gulf with ballistic missiles during a new wave of attacks against US and Israeli targets, Tasnim news agency reported.
The IRGC warned that companies it accused of involvement in "terrorist espionage" could be targeted, naming several major US technology firms and urging employees and nearby residents to leave the areas. It also said that its forces have launched drone attacks on "important and strategic" communication, telecommunication, and industrial centers affiliated with the Israeli army.
Iran executed two "armed terrorists" affiliated with the Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) for their involvement in several "terror operations" in Tehran aimed at toppling the country's establishment.
Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi called reports that Iran fired a missile toward Türkiye "completely baseless."
