Khamenei Declares Hamas Resilience After Yahya Sinwar's Death

The Supreme Leader of Iran, Ali Khamenei, has reaffirmed the resilience of Hamas following the death of its leader Yahya Sinwar, who was killed during an Israeli military operation. Khamenei stated that Sinwar's martyrdom will not hinder the 'axis of resistance' and emphasized that Hamas is 'alive and will remain so.' He acknowledged the pain of losing such a prominent figure but assured that the resistance front would continue to move forward, drawing parallels to the endurance shown after the deaths of other notable leaders within the movement. Khamenei hailed Sinwar as a 'brilliant figure of resistance' who faced the Israeli adversary with courage and tactical acumen. He also referenced a video of a meeting he had with Sinwar in 2011, highlighting their historical ties and Iran's long-standing support for the Palestinian cause since the Islamic Revolution of 1979.
