Inauguration of five museums
Pezeshkian: Sacred Defense ‘timeless necessity’ for society
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian urged Iranians to hold onto the values of the Sacred Defense, which he described as a “timeless necessity” for society, as he spoke during a ceremony marking the inauguration of five Sacred Defense museums in five provinces and the launch of 262 books about the conflict.
He stated that for those who lived through the war and have those memories, it is painful that we have not been able to pass on those beliefs and values to the new generation in a way that is worthy, president.ir reported.
During the Sacred Defense era, “our youth abandoned their studies, work, and lives to defend the country without expecting anything in return. If we have that same faith and conviction today, no power can have a biased or hostile view of our country and our land.”
President Pezeshkian pointed out that the factor that enabled the Iranian nation to resist enemy attacks was the strong faith of the country’s youths.
The president also referred to the cowardly act of the Zionist regime in violating Iran’s airspace, saying that the enemy’s assumption that such actions can make us surrender is a “futile dream”.
Pezeshkian emphasized that our martyrs sacrificed their lives for this country and Islamic Revolution, and now it is our responsibility to continue their path.
He stated that to follow in the footsteps of the martyrs, we have a much harder road ahead and must control our ego and selfish desires. Today, most of our disagreements and disputes are over power, fame, and position, whereas those who intend to serve should not have any disputes.
The president emphasized, “we are duty-bound to serve this country and nation for the sake of the martyrs’ blood and to make them happy. We must show through our sincere behavior and actions that we are committed to serving the people.”
During the ceremony, the president also unveiled a commemorative stamp for the opening of the five Sacred Defense museums in the provinces of Zanjan, Qazvin, Golestan, Gilan, and Lorestan.
