In the name of God
To the noble nation and dear youths of Iran and respectable seminarians and clergy
My cordial greetings and salutations go to the great Prophet (PBUH) and those born in the month of Sha'ban, peace be upon them, and the noble martyrs and the Imam of martyrs; I would also like to express congratulations on the occasions of the holy month of Sha'ban and the anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution.
With the help of the kind almighty God, on this day we witnessed the glory of the presence of young people and teenagers, proud women and men, brave, awake and epic-creating people; We saw yet another huge turnout of the dear nation of Iran, Muslims and the oppressed all over the world, and the devoted and loyal people and supporters of the revolution in the clear mirror and bright horizon of Islam and Iran shined brightly and cheerfully.
By watching the effects and scenes of the participation of different sections of our dear people and the creation of the image of unity, and the spirit of sacrifice and resistance, a sense of pride and honor was felt in every honest viewer.
This great epic and massive participation of the people in the sensitive conditions of the region, despite all the hatred of the enemies of Iran and Islam, and despite all the hardships, set a new chapter and raised a lot of hope; One should shed tears of joy from the depths of one's being for these conscious people, I say blessings and thanks, and express humility and gratitude before Almighty God.
This spirit of jihad and epic culture and the approach of synergy and unity in the upcoming elections and in the realization of all the programs of the country and its wider growth and progress may continue, and the officials of the country should appreciate this great public capital and add to better and more service.
These human waves and heavenly cries and the awakening of faith and the revolutionary spirit are the strength and support of the authority and the secret of the progress of the great nation of Iran as well as the Islamic world and serve as a huge capital to overcome the challenges and problems facing the homeland and the Islamic revolution in order to pave the way to realize the goals of the second step of the revolution, which was outlined in the statement of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution.
It is certain that this wise and glorious presence in the upcoming elections will mark another golden chapter in the history of the Islamic Revolution, and with the support of this authority, the axis of resistance and ummah may witness more and more victory over arrogance and global Zionism.
I appreciate all different classes and groups of the nation, especially dear students and young people, clerics, missionaries, seminarians, and jihadi and missionary groups.
