The bold, selfless, general of Islam, Major General Mohammad Reza Zahedi, along with his honorable comrade, General Mohammad Hadi Haj-Rahimi, were martyred by the criminal act of the despised, usurping Zionist regime. May the peace and mercy of God and those that are beloved by Him be upon them and the other martyrs [who were assassinated] in this tragic event. May God’s curse and damnation be upon the leaders of the oppressive, aggressive [Zionist] regime.

Our martyrs received their reward of martyrdom from Almighty God
General Zahedi had been awaiting martyrdom since the 1360s AHS [1980s] when he was fighting in dangerous battlefields. They [the martyrs] have not lost anything and have received their reward. But the grief of losing them weighs heavily on the Iranian nation, especially those who knew them.

We will make Zionist regime regret this crime
We will make them regret this [crime of attacking Iran's consulate] and other crimes like it, by God's power and strength.
