In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
To Ayatollah Khamenei, the honorable Commander of Chief of the Armed Forces
With greetings and respect,
I offer my congratulations to you on the arrival of the blessed Eid al-Ghadir – the Eid of Wilayat and the perfection of divine blessings. At the same time, I offer both condolences and congratulations to you, the wise Leader on the heavenly ascension of the commanders, scientists, and innocent civilians who were killed at the hands of the fake and criminal Zionist regime. I hereby wish to express my gratitude and appreciation for the trust and special favor you have shown in appointing me as Commander-in-Chief of the Islamic Republic of Iran Army.
This soldier of the Revolution and child of the great Iranian nation, inspired by the lofty ideals of the Islamic Revolution and the pure blood of our esteemed martyrs, pledges to you that he will defend and protect the independence, territorial integrity, and sacred system of the Islamic Republic of Iran with all his might, alongside the vast ranks of the courageous and selfless soldiers of the Army in the ground forces, air defense, air force and navy, until the very last breath.
From the very first moments of the brutal and evil Zionist regime’s attack, the valiant warriors of the Islamic Republic of Iran Army have responded to your command, drawing on the epic spirit of the Zulfiqar of Haydar and in the blessed name of the Commander of the Faithful, Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (pbuh). They have taken action with utmost sincerity to defend the sacred territory of our beloved Iran and have made significant efforts. Moving forward, they remain fully prepared to deliver decisive and impactful blows to the body of the fake and child-killing Zionist regime.
I pray to Almighty God that, under the wise guidance and measures of that great and powerful commander [Imam Khamenei], I will succeed in fulfilling the expectations specified in the appointment decree in the form of a transformational, revolutionary army that is synergistic with other branches of the Armed Forces, with the aim of strengthening our combat capabilities and readiness.
God willing.
Major General Amir Hatami
Commander-in-Chief of the Islamic Republic of Iran Army
