News - Middle East: The secretary general of the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement has hailed the mass participation of Iranians in nationwide rallies in celebration of the 44th anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution, stating that the people’s epic presence gave a proper response to false speculation that the time was up for the Islamic establishment.

Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah made the remarks during a televised speech on Thursday evening at a ceremony in the Lebanese capital city of Beirut in commemoration of the martyred military commanders of Hezbollah.

“Western media outlets take no notice of the millions-strong marches across Iran on the anniversary of the victory of the 1979 Islamic Revolution, and instead focused on gatherings and riots that had drawn a small number of people and sought to instigate them,” Nasrallah said.
