Tehran (Basirat) :Following a terrorist attack that took place in Ahvaz this morning, Ayatollah Khamenei issued a message. The following is the full text of the message:
In the Name of God, the Exalted
The tragic and heartrending incident of the martyrdom of a group of our dear
people in Ahvaz at the hands of the mercenary terrorists has once again exposed
the atrocity and viciousness of the enemies of the Iranian nation. These
hardhearted mercenaries who open fire on innocent women, children and men are
the dependents of the same bogus and duplicitous advocates of human rights.
Their spiteful hearts cannot bear to see the manifestation of national
sovereignty during Armed Forces parade. Their crime is a continuation of the
conspiracies by the US-backed regimes in the region which have aimed at creating
insecurity in our dear country. However, to their dismay, the Iranian nation
will persist on the noble and prideful path they have taken and will—like
before—overcome all animosities.
I hereby express my solidarity and sympathy with the families of these dear
martyrs and I ask God for patience and divine calm for them as well as the
elevation of the heavenly ranks of the martyrs. The intelligence sectors must
swiftly and meticulously track and prosecute the purveyors of these criminals
and hand them in to the powerful judiciary.
Sayyid Ali Khamenei
