A mouthpiece reporting for an usurping and lawless regime, constructed upon the usurped ruins of another people; in times of danger, his words falter, his hands tremble, and his eyes are glazed over. On the opposing front, however, amidst the deafening roar of bombs and invading missiles, a dedicated woman carries the vital duty of raising awareness – her voice echoing unwaveringly, undeterred by any chaos or turmoil.
In a moment when the walls tremble and the outside world is engulfed in smoke and flames, she remains seated in her place. Not only does she discourage the enemy by not displaying any signs of fear, but she also presents a clear image of resilience and resistance in front of the cameras – strong, resonant, courageous and honorable. Her calmness carries a message more striking than all the enemy's threats combined. It is the enduring message of truth – a shield protecting the rights of all freedom-loving people. A cry to the entire world: The truth cannot be silenced by bombs.
Her courage will remain in our memories as part of the great narrative of this free nation's resistance against the occupying Zionist regime.
Her eloquent speech is a clear reflection of the voice of Iranian Muslim men and women who protect their homeland and religion until their final breath.
As Imam Khamenei said: "Which other nation do you know of that boldly stands up to confront those world powers that are imposing their will and giving orders to others?" (June 11, 2025).
The message from the Iranian nation is clear: "We will not back down from defending our home."
