Earlier on Monday, Mojtaba Khamenei pledged continued support for resistance movements against the US and Israel in a message written to Hezbollah's Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem, according to Iranian State Media Press TV.

The message, according to Press TV, reaffirmed that the Islamic Republic's policy remains rooted in "ongoing support for the resistance against the Zionist and American adversary", Hezbollah said, citing the message forwarded by Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei to Sheikh Qassem.

Khamenei noted that the policy follows the path laid by the late Iranian leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and Hezbollah's former chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.He emphasised that "standing firm and steadfast in the face of the fiercest enemies of the Islamic Ummah (Nation), namely the United States and the Zionist regime, was among the most outstanding characteristics of the martyred Imam," referring to his predecessor.

According to Press TV, he also expressed appreciation for Qassem's message of condolence following the death of the former Iranian leader, and acknowledged the support expressed by Hezbollah fighters towards Iran.

According to Press TV, calling the current moment "sensitive" for the resistance, Khamenei said Hezbollah's chief "bears the responsibility of leading the movement."

With the evolving security situation in the region, US President Donald Trump on Wednesday (local time) claimed that Iran has approached US for ceasefire negotiations, however he said that it would only be considered once the Strait of Hormuz is opened.

Soon after, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson denied the claims by Trump for ceasefire, calling it false and baseless as reported by Press TV. (ANI)
