In a message marking the "historic epic" surrounding the farewell ceremony for the Martyr of Iran, Iran's eader praised the massive public turnout across Tehran, Qom, Mashhad, and other cities, saying the gatherings reflected the Iranian nation's loyalty, political awareness, and commitment to its Islamic-Iranian identity.
He blamed Washington of pursuing coercion, unilateralism, and aggression, arguing that recent developments had exposed the United States' "true face" and provided further evidence of its unreliability.
Ayatollah Khamenei also warned that if the United States sought to escalate the conflict further, Iran and the Resistance Front would deliver "unforgettable lessons," pointing to the bravery of Iranian forces and residents of the country's southern regions in recent days.
He urged Iranians to avoid political division and social discord, saying criticism of government officials, while legitimate and potentially constructive, should not result in injustice against innocent individuals or undermine national cohesion.
"One of the most fundamental principles is insisting on sacred unity at all levels, especially in the face of the criminal and deceitful American enemy," the Leader stressed.
Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei concluded by saying that maintaining public confidence in the country's executive, legislative, and judicial branches would help safeguard Iran's national interests, adding that the country's adversaries "must not perceive any sign of weakness" from Iran.
