Khamenei Declares Israel Will Be Eradicated, Rejects US Assumptions on Resistance Led by Hezbollah, Nasrallah, and Sinwar

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei addressed a gathering of women, asserting that the belief held by the United States, Israel, and their allies regarding the end of resistance against Israel is fundamentally incorrect. Khamenei emphasized that Israel is the entity that will ultimately be eradicated, not the resistance movements. He referenced the ongoing situation in Syria, suggesting that Israel's actions are aimed at besieging Hezbollah, but he insisted that the spirits of resistance leaders like Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah and Yahya Sinwar remain alive, continuing to inspire opposition against Israeli aggression. Khamenei's remarks reflect a broader narrative of resilience among resistance groups in the region, despite the challenges they face, including daily attacks in Gaza and Lebanon. He stated, 'The illusion of the US, the Zionist regime, and some of their allies that the resistance will be uprooted is completely wrong.'
