He said: “The respectful families of martyrs and war veterans, who gave their beloved children for defending this land, are a source of honour for the entire Iranian nation”.
Referring to the school of Ashura as the school of guidance, he praised the self-sacrifice by the warriors in Operation Mersad and said: “This operation depicts the Iranian nation’s true innocence in that era”.
“Operation Mersad also indicates the bravery of Iranian young people and it was the last line of victory of this nation in the Sacred Defence,” the President of the Islamic Republic of Iran added.
He also went on to express hope that all authorities can successfully serve the people and continue along the path of the martyrs.
“The Iranian nation have always been proud and, surely, with the Supreme Leader’s guidance and people’s resistance, we will be victorious against the enemies’ conspiracies,” he continued.
