Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned that Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah’s death "will not go unavenged" following an Israeli airstrike in Beirut. Khamenei declared five days of mourning for Nasrallah, calling him "a martyr and a symbol of resistance." The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) also lost General Abbas Nilforoushan in the attack. Israel stated Nasrallah was responsible for the deaths of thousands. The strike has raised concerns of escalating regional tensions as Hezbollah and Iranian-aligned groups threaten retaliation. Iran remains in close communication with Hezbollah and its allies to plan their next steps.
