Dear Hujattul Islam Haj Sheikh Ali Saeedi,
Expressing gratitude for Hujjatul Islam Haj Sheikh Qolamreza Safaaee's valuable and sincere efforts, during his service and in view of your commitment, qualifications, and important experience, I appoint you to the high position as head of the Ideological-Political Bureau at the office of the Commander-in-Chief of Iran’s Armed Forces.
It is expected that spiritual groundings and religious insight are promoted among commanders, the staff, and their families within the Armed Forces, while the Wali-Faqih representative’s potentials, in the IRGC and Ideological-Political Bureau, are employed to a maximum via policy making, coordination, monitoring and increased interactions with the General Department.
I ask Allah, the Almighty, to bestow success upon everyone,
