Resistance Front, stable, firm/ Zionist enemy, defeated: Cleric
A member of the board of trustees of the Lebanese Muslim Scholars Association said, “The southern border regions of Lebanon are witnesses of the enemy’s defeat. The signs of our victory are the failure of the enemy to achieve its goals.”
ABWA Official Website – In the “Resistance and Security” conference, which was held on Thursday, November 14, 2024, in the meeting hall of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly in Qom, a member of the Board of Trustees of the Lebanese Muslim Scholars Association in a video message said, “We are facing a difficult situation in Lebanon, and the Zionist regime is committing genocide in the country.”
“In the face of the Zionist regime aggression, all resistance fighters are sworn to achieve victory or martyrdom. and Sayed Hassan Nasrallah, Sayed Hashem Safieddine, and a group of commanders and fighters of the Resistance Front were martyred in this way,” Sheikh Mahdi Gharavi continued.
About the crimes of the Zionist regime, he said, “The Zionist enemy uses its destructive weapons to kill civilians and destroy residential areas to put pressure on the Resistance. But those who think that they can bring a nation to its knees to surrender with these actions are fools.”
About the conditions on the battlefield, he said, “Despite bombarding southern Lebanon with thousands of tons of bombs and trying to advance in Southern Lebanon for a month and a half, the Zionist enemy has failed. The southern border regions of Lebanon are witnesses of the enemy’s defeat. The signs of victory are the failure of the enemy to achieve its goals.”
“The enemies wanted to separate the Lebanese front from the Gaza front. But it was an illusion, and Resistance missiles reached Tel Aviv and Ben Gurion Airport. The enemy’s goal was to return the settlers to the north of the occupied lands. But they failed, and now even the residents of cities like Haifa and Akka no longer feel safe, and more settlers have been forced to leave their homes,” he added.
“Another sign of victory is the continuation of attacks by Resistance fighters. Resistance attacks not only did not stop but the range and number of their missiles increased,” he continued.
“Despite the displacement and destruction of homes, the spirit of resistance is high and stable, and in this difficult situation, we emphasize the importance of the unity and integrity of the Islamic Ummah,” said Sheikh Mahdi Gharavi, a member of the board of trustees of the Lebanese Muslim Scholars Association, at the end of his video message to the “Resistance and Security” conference.

IRI supports struggle of the oppressed against the arrogant: Official
The Head of the International Communications Department of the Office of the Supreme Leader of the Revolution stated, “Resistance is not only defined in the ranks of war but also includes all the steps to convince the other party to claim the rights. Of course, humiliating negotiation is off the table of resistance.”
ABWA Official Website – In the “Resistance and Security” conference, which was held on Thursday, November 14, 2024, in the meeting hall of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly in Qom, the head of the Department of International Communications of the Office of the Supreme Leader of the Revolution said, “The resistance can be studied from different aspects.”
Dr. Mahdi Mostafavi continued, “According to its constitution, the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran is based on the rejection and acceptance of domination. Iran considers the rule of law to be the right of all the people of the world and supports the struggle of the oppressed against the arrogant.”
“The constitution has outlined duties for us that we must fulfill,” he continued, “On the other hand, peaceful interactions should be used to achieve the right. This is where the diplomatic, formal, and informal talks arise. Sometimes legal methods do not work; therefore, hard methods are suggested. If legal talks and economic pressures do not work, coercive force will be used.”
The head of the International Communications Department of the Supreme Leader’s Office emphasized, “Countries try to increase their deterrent power. Deterrence is defined both in the field of soft power and in the field of hard power. Countries try to increase their power, and increasing power means resistance.”
“Resistance is not only defined in the ranks of war but also includes all the steps to convince the other party to claim the rights. Of course, humiliating negotiation is off the table of resistance,” he said about the types of resistance.
Resistance is not only for Muslims, and others also resist to assert their rights. But the significant and essential difference between the resistance of us Muslims and non-Muslims is that if we Muslims trust in God and adhere to divine values, God’s grace will be granted to us,” Dr. Mostafavi said at the end.

Resistance, unlike surrender, brings pride and shapes destiny: Cleric
About the characteristics of Martyr Sayed Hassan Nasrallah, Safdari, a professor of seminary and university, stated, “Sayed Hassan Nasrallah’s art was to sustain the resistance culture. Sayed Hassan Nasrallah was a cultivator of resistance. Resistance, unlike surrender, brings pride and shapes destiny.”
ABWA Official Website – In the conference “Resistance and Security”, which was held in the meeting hall of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly in Qom, Hojat al-Islam Hossein Safdari, professor of seminary and university, said, “Resistance is the thought of standing against threats and enemies.”

“The threat may be objective or probable. But resistance has requirements, and it should not be taken that simply standing against the enemy is enough. Because resistance is a multidimensional equation,” he continued.
“Security means the absence of threats,” the seminary and university professor added, “Here, the question arises whether resistance achieves security. Security means a feeling of stability and lack of concern. When, for example, the United States formulates its security policy, it considers all developments regarding its stability.”
“Considering the points mentioned above, by studying the contemporary history of Islamic countries, we see that they lacked territorial, cultural, and religious security during the last few centuries. There are two patterns against insecurity and threat. The first pattern crystallized before the Islamic Revolution of Iran was the submission process, during which Islamic countries surrendered to the process of occupying Palestine. According to the Oslo Accords, “various issues, including water and borders, will be discussed later!” As a result of the Oslo Accords, since its signing, the Palestinians have continuously retreated into the West Bank,” he continued.
“The second process that became popular after the victory of the Islamic Revolution of Iran was resistance against enemies. The result of this culture was creating a spark in Lebanon and Hezbollah. Hezbollah provided a lot of operational capacity for itself and its allies in other countries. Once the Zionist army came to the center of Beirut and occupied the southern areas of Lebanon. At this time, those who negotiated with the Zionists reached nothing,” said the researcher about the resistance strategy.
About the characteristics of Martyr Sayed Hassan Nasrallah, he stated, “Sayed Hassan Nasrallah’s art was to sustain the resistance culture. Sayed Hassan Nasrallah was a cultivator of resistance. Resistance, unlike surrender, brings pride and shapes destiny.”
“Martyrdom creates progress, and resistance creates deterrence. For enemies, being killed is the end of the road. But according to the enemy, the resistance, despite all its costs, has more power than the first day. So much so that the rock revolution has turned into a missile revolution,” Safdari emphasized.
“Resistance is more likely to succeed than surrender. The logic of Imam Ali (a.s.) is to support the resistance. But in the Oslo Accords, the logic of surrender showed its essence. Egypt had $14 billion before Camp David, but today it has $140 billion in debt. This is an example of the consequences of surrender. Saed Hassan Nasrallah is a symbol of resistance,” he said at the end of his speech.
