The presence of the Defenders of the Shrine showed that the Islamic Revolution has the power to recreate and sustain the same enthusiasm and magnificence of the early days of the Revolution... . Of course, we have seen these in various other forms such as the 22nd of Bahman rallies and these incredible, unique funeral processions that have never been seen anywhere else in the world. For example, these recent funeral processions [for Martyr Raisi and his companions], the funeral processions for Martyr Soleimani, and those for others like them were truly events that something similar to them has never been seen anywhere in the world. We have seen these, but the most superior of all of these is the presence of the Defenders of the Shrines on the battlefields.
