DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei calls on Muslims “to stand by the people of Lebanon and the proud Hezbollah with whatever means they have and assist them in confronting the… wicked regime [of Israel].”

Khamenei, in a statement after the Israeli army said it had killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, says: “The fate of this region will be determined by the forces of resistance, with Hezbollah at the forefront,” state media reports.
