The
Martyrdom of the scholarly and outstanding youth, Shahid Mostafa
Ahmadi-Roshan, imposed another grief on the heart of those who love
knowledge and those who are committed to the progress of the Islamic
Republic. All of us share in the grief of the father, mother, wife and
child of this innocent, outstanding and proud youth.This cowardly
assassination - whose perpetrators and plotters will never dare
confess to their evil crime and accept responsibility for it, just
like the other crimes committed by the international network of state
terrorism - has been planned or helped by the intelligence services of
CIA and Mossad and it is a sign that the arrogant powers of the world,
led by America and Zionism, have reached a dead end in the face of the
determined, pious and progressive people of Islamic Iran. This
outrageous and brutal behavior will fail as well and they will not
achieve their evil and malevolent goals. The accelerated scientific
progress and the conquering of the peaks of knowledge - which has been
promoted by the determination of pious, proud and competent youth such
as Shahid Ahmadi-Roshan - is independent of individuals. This is a
historic movement that is rooted in an unbreakable national will. We
will continue this path powerfully and with a firm determination to the
disappointment of the leaders of the camp of arrogance and hegemony
and we will keep showing the progress of our great nation to the
spiteful and envious enemies. Of course, we will never neglect
punishing the perpetrators of this crime and those behind it.I
extend my condolences to the parents, wife and child of this honorable
martyr, to the scientific and academic community of the country and to
all those who love our comprehensive scientific movement and are
committed to it and I pray to God to bestow patience and divine calm on
them. I also pray to Allah the Exalted to bestow the highest position
on this honorable martyr in the hereafter and I pay tribute to the
memory of Shahid Ali-Mohammadi, Shahid Shahriari and Shahid
Rezaeinejad.
