In the name of the Lord of the martyrs and the truthful ones
Among the believers are men who have been true to what they promised Allah; among them is he who has fulfilled his vow [to the death], and among them is he who awaits [his chance]. And they did not alter [their commitment] by any alteration. (Surah Al-Ahzab – Verse 23)
The noble and great nation of Iran,
Along with expressing condolences on the martyrdom of the steadfast, brave, insightful, and tireless struggler of Iran and the Islamic world, the Grand Ayatollah Imam Khamenei (may Allah’s mercy be upon him), yesterday a group of brave and valiant commanders of the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran were martyred in a brutal attack by the most wicked regimes, criminals, and corruptors of the world, the criminal America and the Zionist regime.
Martyr Lieutenant General Seyyed Abdul Rahim Mousavi, Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces
Martyr Major General Mohammad Pakpour, Commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps
Martyr Admiral Ali Shamkhani, Advisor to the Supreme Commander and Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council
Martyr Major General Aziz Nasirzadeh, Minister of Defense and Support of the Armed Forces
These were among the martyrs who answered the call of the Truth during a Defense Council meeting and joined their martyred comrades.
Without a doubt, the noble and great nation of Iran, with the help of Almighty God and the grace of the Guardian of the Era (may our souls be sacrificed for him), will remain steadfast on the luminous path of Imam Khomeini (may God bless his soul) and the Imam of the Martyrs, Grand Ayatollah Imam Khamenei (may Allah’s mercy be upon him), and will, while thwarting all conspiracies of sworn enemies, lead Islamic Iran through this critical crossroads with victory and power.
The names of other dear martyrs will be announced subsequently.
