The pure souls of the martyrs embraced the sacred spirit of the servant of Reza, the servant of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the dedicated and popular President, and his companions.
Years of sincere efforts in various fields of service ultimately led Hojjat al-Islam Raisi to this exalted position.
