Khamenei highlighted Sinwar’s role in confronting adversaries with unwavering resolve and commemorated the impact of his actions on regional history.

According to National Iraqi News Agency, Khamenei’s statement emphasized Sinwar’s strong stance against what he referred to as “the unjust and aggressive enemy,” and acknowledged Sinwar’s significant contributions towards the resistance movement. Khamenei remarked on the historical significance of Sinwar’s efforts, particularly noting the indelible mark left by events on October 7.
