If a leader is absent, another stands up

In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful
﴿And do not think that those who are killed in the way of Allah are dead; they are alive with their Lord, provided for.﴾
We offer our deepest condolences and congratulations on the martyrdom of the great scholar and commander of the martyrs of the Islamic Revolution, the leader of the awaited Imams, and the legitimate representative of the Age and Time (may Allah hasten his blessed reappearance), Imam Ali Khamenei (peace be upon him), in the holy month of Ramadan, to the Imam Mahdi (may his soul be a sacrifice for him), to the Islamic nation, to the great scholars and jurists, and to the great Iranian people.

Allah has accepted this great martyr's soul, this pure son of Lady Fatima Zahra (peace be upon her), just as he accepted the soul of his predecessor and role model, Amir al-Mu'minin Ali (peace be upon him) in the holy month of Ramadan, and granted him the honor of martyrdom.

We have lost a great leader, and we mourn at his funeral; a leader who was unique in his time in terms of spiritual purity, faith, good governance, and courage in confronting the oppressors and fighting for Allah's cause.

His martyrdom at the hands of the most vicious terrorists and oppressors of humanity is a testament to the righteousness of this great leader and the acceptance of his sincere services.

Martyrdom in the path of Islam and beloved Iran is a sign of victory and nearness to the goal; however, the martyrdom of Imam Khamenei and his departure to Allah will not halt his path and principles, but will continue with strength and resilience.

This martyrdom will further strengthen our people's determination to continue on the enlightened path of the beloved Imam Khamenei.

The terrorist crime committed by the malicious governments of the United States and the Zionist entity represents a flagrant violation of religious, moral, legal, and ethical norms; therefore, the hand of vengeance of the Iranian people will remain extended, and the killers of the Imam of the Ummah will not escape severe, decisive, and deterrent punishment.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the armed forces of the Islamic Republic, and the Popular Mobilization Forces (Basij) will vigorously continue the path of their commander, defending the precious legacy of this great leader, and will stand firmly against internal and external conspiracies and punish aggressors against the Islamic homeland with deterrent and instructive measures.

In conclusion, we call on all segments of society to participate enthusiastically and actively in the arenas of national defense, to showcase scenes of national cohesion and unity to the world, and to expose the cunning enemies and terrorists of this people.

O, for the vengeance of the Sayyed, the Guardian.
The determination of the fighters will not be broken.
