Pezeshkian vows Ayatollah Khamenei’s flag ‘will never fall’
President Masoud Pezeshkian underscored on Saturday that the Iranian people would prove, through grief and resolve, that the ideals for which their martyred Leader gave his life would continue.
In a message on the social media platform X on Saturday, Pezeshkian reaffirmed the Iranian nation's enduring loyalty to the martyred Leader after massive crowds of mourners attended a farewell ceremony for late Ayatollah Khamenei at Tehran's Grand Imam Khomeini Mosalla in a historic display of national unity.
“The great nation of Iran, with hearts brimming with grief and wills filled with hope, will prove that the flag for which the martyred Leader strived to keep raised will never fall to the ground,” Pezeshkian wrote on X.
Closing his post with a Quranic verse from Surah Al-Qasas, the president stated, “And We wanted to confer favor upon those who were oppressed in the land and make them leaders and make them inheritors.”
Farewell ceremonies for the martyred Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and his family began on Saturday morning, with the presence of grieving people at Tehran's Mosalla.
The martyred Leader attained the lofty rank of martyrdom on February 28 during a savage and terrorist attack by the US-Zionist enemies.
