In the name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate, the evil and criminal enemies of the Iranian people once again caused a disaster and killed a large number of our dear people in the fragrant atmosphere of the Martyr's grave in Kerman. The Iranian nation is grieving and many families are mourning the death of their loved ones. The stone-hearted criminals could not bear to see the love and affection of the people when they visited the shrine of their great commander, the martyr Qassem Soleimani. Let them know that the soldiers on the bright path of Soleimani will not tolerate their meanness and crime. From now on, both the hands stained with the blood of innocent people, and the corrupt, evil minds that led them to this miscalculation, will definitely be the target of a fierce blow and a just punishment. Let them know that the response to this tragedy, God willing, will be difficult. I sympathize with the bereaved families and pray to Almighty God to grant them patience and solace. The pure souls of the martyrs, God willing, will be guests of the Lady of both worlds and the mother of the martyrs, blessed Sidika Tahira, (Fatima Zahra), may God's peace be upon her. I also want to express my condolences to those who were injured in this tragedy and pray to God for their healing. Seyyed Ali Khamenei January 3, 2024
