TEHRAN (Defapress) - Sheikh Ibrahim Zakzaky, the leader of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria, stated in a message: “These 40 days have shown the world the true status of the martyred leader of the revolution. He was not just an individual who could be eliminated by assassination, but rather a firm thought and a personality that took place in the hearts of Muslims and free people around the world. The enemies thought that his martyrdom would lead to the collapse of everything, but reality proved that the Iranian nation and the Islamic nation consider his martyrdom to be the loss of a father for the entire nation, and this will make them more committed to his approach.”

According to Al-Ahed, Sheikh Zakzaky said: “The choice of a successor to Imam Khamenei was a great shock to the enemies. Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei is a figure who has tasted the bitterness of this act of aggression and has made heavy sacrifices for the cause of truth, and as a result, he is a guarantee for the continuation of this path."

He said: "The Strait of Hormuz and Bab al-Mandab belong to the people of Iran and Yemen. We call on the aggressor groups to retreat, admit defeat, and stop thinking about any new act of aggression."
