Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has marked the second anniversary of the death of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, the former secretary-general of Lebanon's Hezbollah, according to the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA).
Araghchi said Nasrallah's legacy of resistance and dignity would endure, and argued that the killing of movement leaders does not extinguish the ideals they represented, IRNA reported.
Nasrallah led Hezbollah for more than three decades before he was killed in an Israeli strike on Beirut's southern suburbs in September 2024, during the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah that followed the outbreak of the Gaza war. His death was a major blow to the group, which has long been backed by Iran.
Araghchi's remarks come as Tehran continues to publicly affirm its support for Hezbollah and other allied groups in the region, often framing them as part of a broader alliance against Israel. Iranian officials have repeatedly used anniversaries tied to Nasrallah and other slain commanders to reiterate this position.
IRNA's report did not provide additional detail on where or how Araghchi's comments were delivered.
