Full text of the message:

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

The proud nation of Iran!

The 40th day of the martyrdom of a group of our dear compatriots, among them were military commanders and prominent nuclear scientists. This blow was inflicted by the evil and criminal Zionist ruling group, which is the scoundrel and stubborn enemy of the Iranian nation. Undoubtedly, the loss of commanders such as the martyrs Baqeri, Salami, Rashid, Hajizadeh, Shadmani, and other military personnel, and scientists such as the martyrs of Tehranchi, Abbasi, and other scientists, is a burden for any nation. But the stupid and short-sighted enemy did not achieve its goal. The future will show that both military and scientific movements will move faster than in the past towards high horizons, God willing.

Our martyrs had chosen a path where the hope of attaining the high rank of martyrdom was not insignificant, and they finally reached that which is the aspiration of all the self-sacrificing; may it be a blessing upon them. However, the hardship of it for the Iranian nation, especially the families of the martyrs and particularly for those who knew them closely, is tough, bitter, and heavy.In this incident, bright points can also be clearly seen. First, the endurance, patience, and mental resilience of the survivors, which has not been observed elsewhere except in the transformations of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Second, the steadfastness and stability of the organizations under the martyrs, which did not allow this heavy blow to take away opportunities or create a pause in their movement. And third, the grandeur of the miraculous perseverance of the Iranian nation, which manifested in their unity, sound spirit, and resolute determination to stand together in the field. Islamic Iran once again demonstrated the robustness of its foundation in this incident. The enemies of Iran strike with cold iron.By divine grace, Islamic Iran will grow stronger day by day, God willing.

It is important that we do not neglect this fact, and the task it is on our shoulders.

Maintaining the national unity is our duty.

The acceleration of the development of knowledge and technology in all sectors is the task of the scientific elite.

Maintaining the dignity of the country and the nation is the negligible task of speakers and brushes.

It is the duty of military commanders to equip the country with the security tools of national security and independence.

The seriousness and pursuit of the work of the country is the task of all responsible executive agencies.

The spiritual guidance and illumination of the hearts and the advice to patience and patience and popular stability is the duty of the spiritual presence.

And it is the duty of one of us, especially the youth, to preserve the revolutionary enthusiasm.  Dear God, mercy will succeed everyone.

Greetings to the Iranian nation and greetings to the youth of the martyrs, to the women and children of the martyrs, and to all their martyrs and grievances.
