We have known His Eminence the martyr president closely for a long time. He was to us a big brother, a strong supporter, and a staunch defender of our issues and the nation’s issues, most notably Jerusalem and Palestine, and a protector of the resistance movements and their mujahideen in all the positions of responsibility he held.

He was also a loyal and honest servant of the dear people of Iran. The lofty system of the Islamic Republic, was a loyal support to His Eminence the Leader. He was also a great hope for all the persecuted and oppressed.

We ask God Almighty to cover these great martyrs with His vast mercy, and to bestow upon them His goodness and closeness, and to grant us all the protection, safety, and long life of His Eminence the Dear Imam, and to grant the Islamic Republic, its leaders, and its people to overcome this ordeal with beautiful patience and firm determination.

To continue the path of the late great Imam Khomeini and all the martyrs. ‏
