Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei says Lebanese Hezbollah is making heroic sacrifices and will emerge victorious on the battlefield.

According to The Iran Project, Ayatollah Khamenei on Wednesday made the remarks on the occasion of the Sacred Defense Week in a meeting with a group of veterans from the era of Sacred Defense and the resistance in Tehran.

Some influential and invaluable figures of Hezbollah have been martyred, he said, noting that the measures will not bring the resistance movement to its knees.

The Sacred Defense Week marks eight years of the Iraqi imposed war on the Islamic Republic in the 1980s.

This week is annually celebrated nationwide to mark martyrs and war veterans of the Iraqi-imposed war on the Islamic Republic in 1980-88.
