Since the time of the prophets, nobody of the stature/height of Martyr Nasrallah had risen in the land of the LevantOn this occasion, it is most fitting, on the 2nd anniversary of the martyrdom of the heroic Arab commander and great symbol of the Resistance Front, the esteemed martyr Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.
He was someone who sincerely sought the good of his people and his school of thought. His sincere and eloquent speeches, together with his courageous actions, strengthened the hearts of his people and, indeed, of free people around the world.
He was someone who elevated the name of Lebanon, a small country that for years had been treated as the backyard of certain powers, to a position of greatness.
Victory and triumph were his constant companions. And without doubt, throughout the entire history of the Levant up to the present day, after the prophets and their successors, no man of his stature had risen in that ancient land.
Today, his proud banner is in the hands of Sheikh Naim Qassem, may God protect him, who courageously continues along his path at the forefront of Hezbollah's firm and Ashura-inspired ranks.

The days to which they would like to return our country were days filled with backwardness, humiliation and disgrace.
Dependence and Iran's disrepute in the Islamic world.
By contrast, the days we are living in now are filled with progress, dignity, independence, and the highest degree of standing in the Islamic world, and indeed throughout the entire world.
Today, some regard us as the 4th superpower in the world. Of course, they say this based on worldly calculations.
But according to divine calculations, a country that considers itself devoted to the Pure Household of the Prophet, whose people are largely attached to those exalted figures, and who are unafraid to uphold the truth, is regarded as the foremost power in the world.
In those days, the 2 seas to Iran's south were a theater of activity for enemy forces. But today, because of the painful blows they have suffered at the hands of courageous fighters and the defenders of the Strait of Hormuz, they do not advance beyond the Arabian Sea.
Whenever they have taken that risk, they have only brought harm upon themselves.
And the day is near when the Arabian Sea, too, will be emptied of their presence.
This comparison between the days of the past and the present can be expanded upon and explained further.
But in a word, I, as a servant of the dear people of Iran, declare that those former days, which our enemy longs to see return, are gone and will never be repeated.
And of course, I must note with pain and sorrow that in these days, the absence of the great Imam Khomeini and the exalted martyr Khamenei… is deeply felt, for the dignity that our country enjoys today is indebted to their leadership.
Yet, by virtue of the precious legacy they left behind through their actions and their brilliant, guiding words for their followers, the days ahead will be far more glorious than the days we are living through now.
