🚨🇮🇷 Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Sayyed Mojtaba Khamenei:
—
In the Name of God, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful
{Indeed, We have granted you a clear victory (1) that Allah may forgive for you what preceded of your sin and what will follow and complete His favor upon you and guide you to a straight path (2) and that Allah may aid you with a mighty victory (3)} (Al-Fath).
Forty days have passed since one of the greatest crimes committed by the enemies of Islam and Iran, and one of the heaviest public tragedies in the history of this people—the painful calamity of the martyrdom of the great Leader of the Islamic Revolution, the father of the Iranian people, the leader of the Islamic Ummah, the Imam of truth-seekers in this age, the master of the martyrs of Iran and the Axis of Resistance, the great Khamenei (may God sanctify his pure soul).
For forty days, the soul of our martyred leader has soared in the nearness of the Divine Presence, a guest among the saints, the truthful, and the martyrs. Alongside him and after him, a great number of supporters, commanders, and fighters of Islam, as well as the oppressed citizens—from infants only days old to the elderly—have attained this mighty grace.
Forty days and nights have passed since God, the Exalted, summoned the Imam of this Ummah to His appointed meeting. Yet this time—unlike what occurred in the era of the one who spoke to God—his companions and his nation rose to establish truth and confront falsehood. They stood firm like unshakable mountains against the Samiri and his calf, and poured down like volcanic lava upon the heads of aggressors and tyrants.
Forty days and nights have passed since the arrogant powers of the world stripped away their deceptive masks, revealing their ugly, satanic face—of killing and oppression, aggression and lies, tyranny, child murderers, despotism, and corruption.
Yet in contrast, for forty days and nights, the devoted sons of the great Khomeini and the beloved Khamenei, along with the followers of authentic Muhammadan Islam (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), have been present with exemplary courage in the fields, the streets, and the trenches of battle. Despite the strikes and losses inflicted by the enemy’s brutal aggression, they transformed the Third Imposed War into an epic of the Third Sacred Defense.
The aware and vigilant Iranian people have proven that although they are grief-stricken by the loss of their martyred Imam, they—following the legacy of the inheritors of Ashura—have turned loss into an epic and mourning into a battle cry. This has left the heavily armed enemy confused and hasty, and has inspired the free people of the world. This time, the ignorance and folly of the arrogant powers made March 2026 the beginning of a new chapter in the rise of Iran and the Islamic Revolution, raising its banner not only over its land, but deep within the hearts of truth-seekers worldwide.
