Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has reportedly been relocated to a secure site following Israel’s confirmation of the airstrike that reportedly killed Hezbollah chief Hasan Nasrallah in Beirut. The airstrikes, conducted by Israeli fighter jets on Friday night, have escalated tensions in the region.
In a statement released on X, Khamenei expressed solidarity with Hezbollah, emphasizing that “all the Resistance forces in the region stand with and support Hezbollah.” He reaffirmed his belief that the “Resistance forces will determine the fate of this region,” despite not commenting directly on Nasrallah’s fate.

Khamenei dismissed the impact of the Israeli strikes on Hezbollah’s strength, stating, “The Lebanese haven’t forgotten the time when the soldiers of the occupying regime advanced toward Beirut, and Hezbollah stopped them, making Lebanon proud.” He vowed that Lebanon would make the “malicious enemy” regret its actions.
The move to secure Khamenei follows Israel’s ongoing military operation, dubbed “New Order,” aimed at eliminating leaders of terror organizations. Israeli Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Herzi Halevi stated, “This is not the end of the toolbox. The message is clear: whoever threatens the citizens of the State of Israel will be reached, whether in the north, south, or even more distant places.”
Nasrallah, who has led Hezbollah since 1992, has been a key figure in orchestrating numerous attacks against Israel and is viewed as a pivotal leader in the group’s political-military strategy. Halevi described Nasrallah as responsible for the deaths of many Israeli civilians and soldiers during his leadership.
