Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said the death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar won't halt the "Axis of Resistance". Referring to Sinwar as a "heroic mujahid", he stated, "His loss is undoubtedly painful for the Axis of Resistance, but this front didn't cease advancing with the martyrdom of prominent figures." He added, "Hamas is alive and will remain alive."
