Sheikh Qassem: Resistance will Continue until The Final Victory

By Staff, Agencies 

Hezbollah Secretary General His Eminence Sheikh Naim Qassem vowed that the resistance will continue until the final victory and the total annihilation of “Israeli” occupiers.

Sheikh Qassem made the remarks on Thursday in a video message to a conference titled “Qom Seminary, Islamic Revolution, and Resistance,” held at Dar al-Shafa School - a renowned seminary for advanced students - in the Iranian city of Qom.

“We have full faith in God's promise of victory, and the resistance will continue until the final triumph and the complete annihilation of the occupiers. No power in the world can stop the will of the Islamic Ummah,” he stressed.

The resistance leader also praised the efforts of insightful scholars in the Qom Seminary, which, according to the Hezbollah chief, has become “a bastion against oppression and tyranny,” and from which the Islamic Revolution of Iran stemmed and inspired liberation movements across the region.

Recalling the “Israeli” occupation of the Lebanese territories decades ago, he stressed that both the Islamic Revolution and the thought of its leader, Imam Khomeini, guided the Lebanese nation’s struggle against the Zionist occupiers.

“After our land was invaded, the Islamic Revolution and the thought of Imam Khomeini became our guiding light on the path of struggle. The Lebanese people, especially Hezbollah’s fighters, began the path of resistance by following Imam Khomeini’s lead,” Sheikh Qassem noted.

Turning to the recent massive assault by the military of the occupying entity involving some 75,000 military soldiers, the Hezbollah chief stressed that the only way to inflict a complete defeat on the entity is resistance.

“The Lebanese people, owing to their faith, historical identity, and national dignity, stood firm in the face of this assault. Experience has shown that resistance is the only path to dignity, honor, and freedom,” he emphasized.

Sheikh Qassem also noted that it is a mistake to regard Hezbollah as a mere military group, stressing that it is “a way of thinking” that has been accepted not only across the region but also beyond as a “rational and popular strategy against colonialism and hegemony.”
