Leader of the Revolution: The \u201cSacred Defense\u201d Was an Honorable Test of the Iranian People in Courage, Faith, and Steadfastness
\nThe Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Imam Khamenei, in a message to the National Conference of the \u201cUnknown Captive Martyrs\u201d in holy Mashhad, described these martyrs as a reflection of the \u0645\u0638\u0644\u0648\u0645\u064a\u0629 (oppression and suffering) and estrangement of the Iranian people, alongside their courage, faith, and perseverance during the period of the \u201cSacred Defense.\u201d He emphasized that holding such commemorations is, in fact, a magnification of steadfastness.
\nAccording to Mehr News Agency, the text of the message of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, which was read tonight at the conference in the shrine of Imam \u0631\u0636\u0627 (peace be upon him) by the Representative of the Supreme Leader in the Martyrs Foundation, Hujjat al-Islam wal-Muslimeen Mousavi Moghadam, is as follows:
\nIn the Name of God, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful
\nThe \u201cSacred Defense,\u201d which lasted eight years in the 1980s, was, on the one hand, an honorable test for the Iranian people in courage, faith, steadfastness, and military innovation; and on the other hand, it was a scene of \u0645\u0638\u0644\u0648\u0645\u064a\u0629, estrangement, and the \u062a\u062d\u0645\u0644 (endurance) of spiritual and physical suffering.
\nThe writings of the freed prisoners about their captivity and the violence and inhumanity they witnessed express one aspect of this second dimension, and undoubtedly recount only a small part of it.
\nThe discussion now concerns those who returned their souls to their Creator and drank the cup of martyrdom in that exhausting estrangement. The number of those identified so far exceeds two thousand. One can be assured that they endured suffering until the last moments of their lives, yet they did not submit to the expectations and impositions of the wicked jailers and bore torture. Peace be upon them.
\nThis commemoration is a tribute to their steadfastness. The organizers of this gathering have rightly recognized the importance of the subject and acted sincerely.
\nWe ask God to grant them and all those who serve the resistance His reward and abundant recompense.
\nPeace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you.<\/p>\n
