Hawzah News Agency – In response to the Zionist regime’s aggression in the early hours on Friday, Grand Ayatollah Hossein Nouri Hamedani, a prominent Shia source of emulation, issued a statement condemning the attack and calling for national unity under the leadership of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic.

The full text of his message is as follows:

In the Name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

The brutal and illegitimate aggression of the Zionist regime is strongly condemned. Without a doubt, the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran will deliver a decisive response to this heinous act.

The martyrdom of a number of dear commanders—especially Martyrs Baqeri and Salami—as well as esteemed scientists of our nation, whose noble path will, God willing, be continued with strength and determination by their colleagues, along with the loss of innocent lives, clearly illustrates that this cruel regime will commit any crime in order to survive in its final days.

In these critical historical moments, unity and cohesion around the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution are vital and indispensable. Any act that sows discord or division within society—regardless of who it comes from—is tantamount to collaboration with the enemy. It is imperative for all individuals, movements, and groups to remain vigilant against the deception and schemes of the sworn enemies of Islam and the Revolution, particularly America, the Zionist regime, and their agents.

In conclusion, while offering heartfelt condolences and praying for the highest ranks for the esteemed martyrs, I ask God Almighty to grant healing to the wounded, victory to the warriors of Islam, and the downfall of the illegitimate Zionist regime.

Hossein Nouri Hamedani
