The text of the message is as follows:
In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
"Among the faithful are men who fulfill what they have pledged to Allah: there are some among them who have fulfilled their pledge, and some of them who still wait, and they have not changed in the least, (Holy Quran 33:23)"
The martyrdom of the wise and courageous leader of the Islamic Revolution of Iran, Ayatollah Khamenei (may God’s pleasure be upon him), was the reward for a lifetime of sincerity, struggle, and servitude—through which the Almighty granted him his constant aspiration and the prayer he always sought.
A man who, for nearly four decades of leadership after the late Imam [Khomeini] (may God have mercy upon him), like that very model he followed, never acted for other than God, never made a decision except for God, and never uttered a word except for God.
He was distinguished in knowledge and action, in piety and courage, and even in moments of danger, he never separated himself from his people.
Without doubt, criminal America and the bloodthirsty Zionists have reached the end of their path. This time, the powerful armed forces, with the full support of the nation, will deliver a decisive and unforgettable response. In these particular circumstances, the great nation of Iran and all freedom-seekers must preserve their sacred anger toward the enemy, while recognizing that maintaining unity and solidarity and avoiding any form of division is obligatory and essential. By remaining present on the scene and ensuring cohesion among all segments of society, the enemy must be rendered hopeless. God willing, the Assembly of Experts will also fulfill its historic duty, and the enemy will realize that the path of the Revolution will continue with strength.
I extend congratulations and condolences on the martyrdom of this great leader of the Islamic world to Imam Mahdi (may God hasten his reappearance), to the Islamic Ummah, and to all freedom-seekers around the world.
