In a message to the people of Lebanon, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei expressed solidarity with the Lebanese nation.

According to The Iran Project, the verbal message was conveyed by Maysam Motie’e, an Iranian eulogist who has traveled to Lebanon to distribute aid supplies provided by the Iranian people in a campaign called “Empathetic Iran”.

In the message to the resistant and war-hit people of Lebanon, the Leader said, “We are not separate from you. We stand by you. We are one with you.”

Ayatollah Khamenei noted that Iran sympathizes with the Lebanese people for their pains and miseries, adding, “Your pain is ours, your suffering is ours, and we are not separate from you.”

In Lebanon, at least 3,516 people have been killed and 14,929 wounded in Israeli attacks since the war on Gaza began in October 2023.
