The terrorist and criminal Zionist regime, in a brutal act of aggression, launched a cowardly attack in the early hours of Friday against several military and residential areas of our beloved country, resulting in the martyrdom of a number of senior military commanders, distinguished scientists, and innocent civilians of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

I extend my deepest condolences and congratulations on their martyrdom to the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, the resilient and martyr-honoring people of Iran, and the patient and honorable families of these esteemed martyrs. I pray to Almighty God to grant them the highest ranks in the Hereafter, bestow His infinite mercy upon their pure souls, and reunite them with Imam Hussein (peace be upon him).

There is no doubt that, under the command of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, the Israeli regime will face the consequences of its actions in the killing of civilians, military commanders, and members of Iran’s armed forces. Such accountability, according to the statement, is regarded as inevitable.
