Thousands gathered in Tehran on Thursday to commemorate one year since the assassination of longtime Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, as Iranian officials vowed defiance against the U.S. and Israel.
A large crowd filled Imam Hossein Square in Tehran on Thursday to mark the first anniversary of the assassination of Hezbollah’s leader Hassan Nasrallah, who was killed in an Israeli airstrike in Beirut last year.
Participants waved Iranian and Hezbollah flags and carried images of Nasrallah, slain Iranian commander Qassem Soleimani, and Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
Deputy Coordinator of Iran’s Quds Force, Iraj Masjedi, accused the U.S. and Israel of attempting to intimidate Iran, warning that such actions only strengthen the country’s resolve.
Nasrallah, who led Hezbollah for over three decades, was killed when Israeli bunker-buster bombs struck a Hezbollah complex in southern Beirut. His death followed months of cross-border clashes sparked by Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023 attack on Israel, which prompted Hezbollah to open fire from Lebanon in support of the Palestinian group.
Israel’s military campaign that followed killed over 4,000 people in Lebanon, including more than 300 children. Despite a truce, Israeli airstrikes continue to hit Hezbollah positions, which Israel says are used to store weapons.
