Hezbollah Deputy Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem said the ideology of Imam Khomeini remains vibrant among the Muslim Ummah. “Through his revolutionary insight, the sacred light of Muhammadan Islam continues to spread,” he said. Describing Khomeini as a pioneer of resistance and justice, Qassem credited him with laying the foundation for anti-oppression movements across the Middle East. He praised Iran's continued support for resistance forces and noted that Khomeini led Iran from monarchy and American dominance to an independent Islamic republic.
