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, may his shadow last. It was also a great hope for all the persecuted and oppressed.
Likewise, the dear brother, the martyr, Dr. Hussein Amir Abdullahian, was in all positions of responsibility, most recently in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the present, active and sacrificing minister, the flag-bearer in all political and diplomatic forums in the world, a lover of the resistance movements and a devotee of their victory and support.
We ask God Almighty to cover these great martyrs with His vast mercy, and to bestow His favor and closeness on them, and to grant us all the protection, safety, and long life of His Eminence the Dear Imam, may his shadow last, 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.”
