The Islamic Republic of Iran mourns the loss of Ayatollah Raisi, its devoted and diligent President, and his esteemed companions, in a tragic turn that has left the nation in deep sorrow.
Despite the somber occasion, the spirit of resilience and reverence permeates the air as the nation pays homage to a leader who dedicated his life to serving his people.
Ayatollah Raisi, a steadfast adherent to the ideals of the Islamic Revolution, embodied unwavering commitment to his nation until his last breath. His tireless efforts to foster cultural, economic, and social progress through domestic resources garnered widespread admiration and respect.
The late President’s profound support for cultural diplomacy further solidified his legacy as a leader attuned to the wisdom of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution. As the nation grapples with this profound loss, it finds solace in the eternal principles espoused by its fallen leader.
On this solemn day, coinciding with the birth anniversary of Imam Reza (AS), the Iranian people bow their heads in humble acceptance of the divine decree. Though the pain of separation is keenly felt, the nation draws strength from the enduring legacy of Ayatollah Raisi’s selfless service.
In extending condolences to the esteemed family of the late President, including Mrs. Dr. Alam Al-Hoda and Ayatollah Alam Al-Hoda, as well as to the wider Iranian government and populace, we recognize the invaluable contributions of a leader who now joins the ranks of the righteous martyrs.
As Mohammad Mahdi Imanipour, President of the Islamic Culture and Relations Organization, aptly remarks, the companionship of Ayatollah Raisi and his noble associates with the revered figures of Islamic history serves as a beacon of inspiration for all who follow in their footsteps.
