The Secretary-General of Hezbollah, Sheikh Naim Qassem, sent a letter to the Iranian Leader, Sayyed Mojtaba Ali Khamenei, which stated the following: In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful His Eminence Ayatollah Leader Sayyed Mojtaba Ali Khamenei, may his life be long May God’s peace, mercy, and blessings be upon you. And after. We received with great joy and pride the news of your Eminence’s election by the Assembly of Experts of the Islamic Republic of Iran, as a blessed and loyal leader, guide, and successor to preserve the path of Imam Khomeini (may God bless him), to whom the martyred Imam and leader Sayyed Ali Khamenei (may God bless his heart) gave his life and blood and the dear and precious blood of the martyred loyalists, to preserve this path and advance Iran’s independence and its authentic Muhammadan Islamic identity. Trusting in God Almighty and relying on the presence of the religious, zealous and courageous Iranian people, confident in the possibility of achieving progress, building capabilities, and demonstrating the just Islamic political model in approaching solutions to crises... and bold in confronting injustice and aggression, the oppressors and aggressors, thwarting their conspiracies, and overthrowing the goals of their criminal wars. We appreciate your promising leadership in pursuing this authentic and revolutionary Muhammadan Islamic approach on the doctrinal, political, moral and practical levels, which guides the yearning and oppressed peoples of the world towards righteousness, independence and the achievement of justice. We, in Hezbollah - Lebanon, thank God for the great blessings He has bestowed upon us in terms of political, moral, and revolutionary resistance. The liberal and independent approach was inspired by the blessed Islamic Revolution in Iran, and under the leadership of Sayyed Abbas al-Moussawi, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, and Sayyed Hashem Safi al-Din (may God be pleased with them), they took precise and effective steps in strengthening the act of resistance to occupation, aggression, and injustice. We congratulate the election of Your Eminence. We affirm that we are in covenant with your leadership, just as we were with the loyal leader and martyr Imam Khamenei and with the founding Imam Khomeini (may God be pleased with them both), steadfast in supporting religion, truth, humanity and the beginning until justice is achieved with the blessing of the owner of the era and time, may God hasten his honorable appearance. In my personal name and in the name of my brothers in the Hezbollah Shura and the leadership and mujahideen of the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon. We renew our covenant with you, and we pray to God to grant you success and prosperity to fulfill the hopes of your people and the peoples of the oppressed in lifting the plots of the arrogant and oppressors against them and their country. May God’s peace, mercy, and blessings be upon you
