Iran Press/ Middle East: On the occasion of the anniversary of the martyrs of Qassem Soleimani and Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis, the senior commanders of the axis of resistance, programs are being implemented in Baghdad; among them is the performance of the Hello Commander! by the Iraqi youth.
Iraqi teenagers and young people performed the song in the area of the exhibition of 'Sacrifices of Resistance' martyrs in Baghdad and in the presence of Iraqi political and religious leaders. The first program to honor the memory and martyrs of the commanders of the axis of resistance was to set up a special exhibition in Baghdad, which includes dozens of booths introducing the sacrifices of Lt. Gen. Soleimani and Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis and other commanders of the Popular Basij of Iraq.
The Iraqis announced that this year they would commemorate the third anniversary of the martyrdom of General Soleimani and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis under the title of "Martyrdom and Governance" for twenty days by holding special programs in Baghdad and other Iraqi cities.
Hello Commander! is the title of a new epic song themed with support for the Islamic Revolution and its leader from the mouth of Iranian children. The pop choir has recently been chanted in every corner of Iran, from TV shows to schools and public places.
On May 26, some 100,000 people jam-packed Tehran's Azadi Stadium to sing the song.
So far, the choir has been performed in Turkish, Urdu, Arabic, and English.
The song addresses Imam Mahdi, the 12th Shia Imam and the prophesied apocalyptic savior in Shia Islam, who is believed to be currently living in occultation.
In a part of the song, children promise Imam Mahdi that they will tread on the path of Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani, the Islamic Revolution Guard's Corps' Quds Force commander who was assassinated by the United States in Iraq in 2020.
The song was first broadcast on Iran's national television on March 20 this year after the Leader of Iran's Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, delivered a televised Persian New Year speech. Since then, the song has been performed in schools and on national public occasions as a show of support for the Islamic Republic.
'Hello Commander' educates the new generation on the ambitions of the Islamic Revolution and encourages them to be loyal guardians to protect those ideals, something which is seen as a step towards promoting the revolution among the generations to come.
