Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Khamenei, on Thursday, September 23, issued a message in commemoration of martyrs and Sacred Defense devotees.
In his message, Ayatollah Khamenei stressed that the designation of one day in the Sacred Defense Week in commemoration of martyrs is a symbolic move, which means that no nation would be able to defend its identity, dignity, national honor, values, beliefs and rights without making sacrifices.
The Leader, in his message, stressed that the glorious jihad of oppressed Palestinians who, with empty hands, have rendered the savage and armed-to-the-teeth Zionists helpless is the continuation of the same eternal lesson taught by the martyrs.
Ayatollah Khamenei further said that martyrs are shining stars in the sky of Sacred Defense, and whoever has a clear conscience and aspires the hosting of the flag of Islam pays tribute to martyrs.
