President's message is as follows:
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Distinguished Marja Grand Ayatollah Sistani (His Blessings Be Durable and Continuous)
The victory of the Iraqi people and liberation of Mosul city once again proved the position of the Maraji and fatwa to the world. Three years ago on those days replete with despair and chaos, it was the Maraji and the seminary that brought back the hope and determination required for the fight to the Iraqi society and contributed to people and army’s standing against aggressors.
I congratulate this great victory to your Excellency and the people of Iraq, praying to the Almighty for your Excellency's health and success, and the people of Iraq's felicity and prosperity.
Hassan Rouhani
President of the Islamic Republic of Iran
