In his article, he addressed Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah saying, "When I praised your stances and heroic role, I was not expecting any thanks or praising back, for that is the least of what we could do for the resistance fighters who confront the nation's enemy night and day. Your gratitude to me has heartened me and left an impact in my soul, and I consider it a medal on my chest for as long as I am alive".
