Lebanon proud to stand by Iran , Leader of Islamic Rev.
Hezbollah Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassem addressed on Thursday the central Ashura mourning service in Beirut’s Dahieh, reiterating allegiance to Imam Hussein (P) path as consecrated by Martyr Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah, Al Manar reports.
“We approach our stance with refusal to yield, just as Imam Hussein (peace be upon him) taught us—this is a fundamental element in confronting the dangers that threaten future generations.”
A martyr knows how to end his life on the battlefield of honor—thus he becomes great on earth and in the heavens, Sheikh Qassem explained.
“’Far be it from us to be humiliated’ —we repeat this with Imam Hussein (peace be upon him) always and forever. What we possess is our dignity, our stance, and our deeds, which we shall carry with us on the Day of Judgment.
“When we commemorate Imam Hussein (peace be upon him), we are commemorating the essence of the divine law—and calling upon the entire Ummah to take the righteous stance that leads to salvation in this life and the hereafter,” Sheikh Qassem added
“‘I shall never abandon you, O Hussein’… for your path leads us to Allah Almighty, and we shall continue upon it. This was the path of the Master of the Martyrs of our Ummah, His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah—may Allah’s blessings be upon him—who gave his blood and soul under the banner of ‘I shall never abandon you, O Hussein’.”
Hezbollah leader explained that the Islamic Republic of Iran foiled the three main objectives of the aggression: first, the elimination of nuclear enrichment; second, the dismantling of the missile program; and third, the overthrow of the system and targeting of His Eminence Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei.
Iran emerged victorious after 12 days of aggression, and the ceasefire itself is a declaration of triumph for the Islamic Republic, Sheikh Qassem affirmed.
“The Islamic Republic has proven that it alone is capable of confronting the American tyranny and the criminal Israel, along with their European support.” Sheikh Qassem maintained that Hezbollah supports Iran’s independent choices, free from American hegemony.
“We are proud to stand by Iran and to stand under the banner of the brave Imam and leader, Sayyed Ali Khamenei.”
“The Islamic Republic has thwarted the three goals of the aggression: halting uranium enrichment, striking the missile program, and toppling the regime,” his eminence said.
“We cannot submit to dictates and surrender. We want our homeland to be cherished for generations to come, and we will resist for that, no matter the sacrifices.”

“Husseini Infants Gatherings” underway in Iran, world
The congregations of mothers and their babies are held by the Al-Asghar (PBUH) World Assembly on the first Friday of Muharram every year to remember the 6-month-old infant son of Imam Hussein (PBUH), Hazrat Ali Asghar (PBUH), who was mercilessly killed on the day of Ashura in the battle of Karbala in the year 680 AD.
In the ceremonies, mothers dress their babies in special green and white clothes, which are said to resemble the clothing of Hazrat Ali Asghar.
Babies also wear a headband with the name of Ali Asghar written on it.
According to Moslem Bahraminejad, an official with the assembly, this year’s processions are focusing on the pivotal role of mothers and the remembrance of infant martyrs in Iran and the Gaza Strip.
He said each of the Husseini Infants gatherings is, in fact, a bastion of the narrative front.
“We must convey the message of Ashura to generations and nations by utilizing creativity, coherence, and effective storytelling.”
He added that in the gatherings, mothers vow to support their infant children in the Mahdavi uprising, an act that stems from the Ashura belief and the expectation of the reappearance of the Savior.
