Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran

Tehran, Iran

Excellency,

Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah Wa Barakatu!

I pray to Almighty Allah that you are in the best of your health and happiness

We, at the Institute of Objective Studies, offer our deep condolences on the tragic demise of Ayatollah Ebrahim Raisi, President of the Islamic Republic of Iran; and Mr. Hossein Amir Abdullahian, Foreign Minister, along with a high-profile delegation in a chopper crash in the northwestern region near the Azerbaijan border.

India and Iran had glorious historical and cultural relations, which kept people of both countries closely connected and we are sure it will continue.

Given our close brotherly relations, we express our sympathy and solidarity with the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and its people at this crucial juncture.

We, at the Institute of Objective Studies, pray Almighty Allah to bless the departed souls with His choicest place in the heaven and grant their families patience and solace.

We share the pain of the people of the Islamic Republic of Iran and reiterate our stand by the brave people of Iran in this difficult hour of crisis as extended family.

May Almighty Allah help the Islamic Republic of Iran in finding out a suitable replacement who could lead the country to new heights of progress and prosperity!

With sincere regards,

Yours Sincerely,

Dr. Mohammed Manzoor Alam
