In the shadowy underworld of terror and defiance, Hassan Nasrallah stood as a symbol of unyielding hostility toward Western society. For over three decades, the Hezbollah leader brazenly proclaimed his contempt for the United States and its allies, regularly issuing threats that echoed far beyond the borders of Lebanon.

In one of his many incendiary speeches, Nasrallah asserted, “So long as there is imperialism in the world, a permanent peace is impossible.” This statement, though couched in the language of resistance, reflected a broader, more dangerous ideology that painted the West as the eternal enemy of the Islamic world.

Nasrallah’s rhetoric was not just empty bluster: It was a call to arms for those who despised the principles of democracy and freedom. He often targeted the US directly, accusing it of being the true aggressor in the Middle East, and warned that the “Axis of Resistance” would not back down unless Israel and its Western allies were subdued.

His propaganda painted a picture of the West as a corrupt force, with Nasrallah famously declaring, “There is no solution without pressure on Israel to stop the war on Gaza,” openly challenging Western powers to confront their own complicity in regional conflicts.

Nasrallah’s words were not confined to rhetoric. Under his leadership, Hezbollah engaged in a relentless campaign of terror against both Israel and Western targets worldwide. From attacks on US Marines in Beirut in the 1980s to support for Hamas’s attacks on Israeli civilians, his actions underscored a broader anti-Western agenda. Nasrallah’s strategy was clear: to undermine Western influence in the Middle East and to promote an Islamist vision in which democracy had no place.

His death at the hands of Israeli forces marks the end of a dangerous era, but more importantly, it symbolizes Israel’s critical role in the global fight for freedom.

Israel’s Friday strike on Nasrallah and his top commanders wasn’t just a tactical victory – it was a pivotal moment in the ideological battle between democracy and extremism. By taking out Nasrallah, Israel demonstrated once again that it is on the front lines of protecting not just its own citizens but the values that underpin the entire Western world. Unlike many Western nations that hesitate, debate, and often delay decisive action, Israel acted swiftly and decisively, eliminating a key figure who had become a global symbol of terror.

While Israel stands resolute in its defense of democracy, the broader free world must acknowledge and support its efforts. For too long, Western nations have tiptoed around the threat posed by leaders like Nasrallah, constrained by political correctness and fears of backlash. In contrast, Israel’s bold actions have proven time and again that the fight against extremism requires more than just words – it requires resolve, action, and an unwavering commitment to the principles of liberty.

Nasrallah's death a triumph for all who value democracy over dictatorship

Nasrallah’s death is more than a win for Israel: It is a triumph for every nation that values democracy over dictatorship and freedom over tyranny. Yet, the West’s lukewarm response to this victory underscores a troubling disconnect. By failing to openly celebrate Israel’s success in dismantling a terror network that despised the very essence of Western values, the free world risks undermining the sacrifices made by those on the front lines.

US President Joe Biden rightfully praised Israel on Saturday. “Hassan Nasrallah and the terrorist group he led, Hezbollah, were responsible for killing hundreds of Americans over a four-decade reign of terror,” he said. “His death from an Israeli airstrike is a measure of justice for his many victims, including thousands of Americans, Israelis, and Lebanese civilians.

“The United States fully supports Israel’s right to defend itself against Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis, and any other Iranian-supported terrorist groups,” Biden said firmly.

Israel’s actions serve as a reminder that the defense of democracy is not a regional issue – it is a global imperative. Nasrallah’s elimination is a victory for the entire free world, and it’s time that the West recognizes Israel’s role as not just a regional ally, but as a critical defender of the democratic order. The battle against extremism is ongoing, and it is only through unity and support that the ideals of the free world will continue to thrive.

Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said on Sunday that the killing by Israel of an Iranian Revolutionary Guards deputy commander in Beirut was a "horrible crime" that would not go unanswered.

Brigadier General Abbas Nilforoushan was killed in the Israeli strikes on Beirut on Friday in which Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah also died.

"There is no doubt that this horrible crime committed by the Zionist regime (Israel) will not go unanswered," Araqchi said in a statement addressed to the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Major General Hossein Salami.

Threats against Israel and the US​

Earlier on Sunday, Iran's parliament speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf said that Iran-alligned armed groups would carry on confronting Israel with Tehran's help following the killing of Nasrallah, Iranian state media reported.

An alliance known as the Axis of Resistance, built up over decades with Iranian support, includes the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas, Hezbollah in Lebanon, Yemen's Houthis, and various Shi'ite Muslim armed groups in Iraq and Syria.

"We will not hesitate to go to any level in order to help the resistance," Qalibaf said.

He also issued a warning to the United States.

"The US is complicit in all of these crimes and...has to accept the repercussions," he said.

Iran's Vice-President for Strategic Affairs Mohammad Javad Zarif, asked about Nasrallah's assassination, told state media on Sunday Iran would react at an appropriate time of its choosing against Israel.

It's the other way around, the western order is dangerous for the world

It's why Russia has so much International support against the west and and NATO

Constant wars, constant conflict and attempts to control resources and people
 
Two days ago, the Secretary General of the Arab Islamic Council in Lebanon, Muhammad Ali Al-Husseini, made a statement to Al Arabiya:
"Nasrullah, if you knew what Iran is saying about you, the whole situation would have changed.

Write your will because your dreams of entering Al-Quds are deceiving you and your companions have also betrayed you."
 
Iranian officials are making the same statements multiple times a day (quite literally). Why don't they exercise silence ? It would do them better.

Iranian President: The crimes of the Zionist entity are unacceptable and will not remain without a response

I say this. Instead of keeping quiet, they make empty statements and that is what ends up damaging their credibility.
 

Israel likely used U.S.-made 2,000-pound bombs in Nasrallah strike, visuals show​

Israel probably employed U.S.-made 2,000-pound munitions in its strike that killed Hezbollah leader Hasan Nasrallah, according to a review of visuals released by the Israel Defense Forces. Analysts who examined videos of the strike and its aftermath at The Washington Post’s request said the damage was consistent with the use of multiple 2,000-pound bombs.

Three analysts who reviewed a video shared by the Israeli air force on Saturday said it showed fighter jets carrying multiple 2,000-pound-class bombs, at least some of which were U.S.-made BLU-109s and JDAM guidance kits.
In the video, eight F-15 planes carrying at least 16 2,000-pound bombs take off. “Air force planes eliminating Hasan Nasrallah and the Hezbollah headquarters in Lebanon,” reads the descriptive text accompanying the video. Photos released by the IDF showed individual planes fitted with at least three and as many as six BLU-109s each.

The warheads are designed to penetrate up to six feet of reinforced concrete, according to Trevor Ball, a former explosive ordnance disposal technician for the U.S. Army.

The attack leveled at least two large buildings and caused heavy damage to an area spanning 1,000 feet, according to photos and videos.
Maj. Gen. Patrick Ryder, a Pentagon spokesman, referred questions about the operation to the IDF. An IDF spokesperson told The Post that “Dozens of munitions hit the target within seconds with very high precision, and this is part of what is required to hit underground sites at this depth.” They declined to comment further on the strike. U.S. officials have said they received no advance warning from the Israelis about the attack.

“It is a mess of a site,” Ball said of the strike’s aftermath. “It’s possible dozens of 2,000-pound bombs were used,” he added after reviewing new video of a large crater where the two buildings previously stood.

One video, filmed from a window, shows at least four distinct columns rising above the southern Beirut suburb of Dahiyeh. The plumes appear to be dozens of feet wide and high, billowing above the buildings below. Screams are audible in the background.

Warplanes then dropped at least five additional munitions, according to a second video verified by The Post. After they land, a fireball erupts. It was not immediately clear from the video what munition was used.

“Initial available videos of the strike show that numerous large air-delivered bombs were used,” N.R. Jenzen-Jones, director of Armament Research Services, wrote in a message to The Post. Jenzen-Jones added that the repeated impacts from multiple munitions suggests they were aimed at penetrating a heavily protected space.
This kind of quick succession of munitions is often referred to as “daisy chaining,” a Department of Defense official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to candidly discuss targeting strategy, told The Post. He added that daisy-chaining with 2,000-pound bombs is a common tactic in decapitation strikes: Drop the building with the bunker-buster bombs and then deploy a high-explosive demolition charge.

A video filmed in the immediate aftermath shows at least two craters, both filled with significant amounts of debris. Fire is visible in the background as rescue crews clad in neon yellow vests traverse the landscape of charred building materials in search of survivors.

Israel has killed 1,030 people in Lebanon since mid-September, according Lebanon’s Health Ministry, which does not distinguish between combatants and civilians. There have been 6,352 people wounded, Health Minister Firass Abiad said in a news conference Saturday.
