The full text of the message from the leader of the Islamic Revolution is as follows:
In the name of God, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Once again the villainous hands of the criminal mercenaries have been stained with the blood of righteous and selfless young men of our country, thus, some of our human assets—who had dedicated themselves to the protection of the frontiers and guarding the security of the people— were martyred in an attack carried by disgraceful and wicked terrorists.
It is evidently certain that the perpetrators of this crime are connected to the intelligence services of some of the countries inside as well as outside the region, and the country's governmental bodies in charge must steadfastly focus on and investigate the matter.
I offer my condolences and my salutations to the families of these martyrs and to the great family of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and I ask God to grant them patience and reward them; and I ask Him to bestow upon our dear martyrs the highest degrees as well as swift recovery for the wounded.
Investigating the possibility of error in this incident is certainly another responsibility to be carried out by the IRGC.
Sayyed Ali Khamenei
