In the name of God
I thank God the Almighty for his grace and care, who once again made Iran proud in the political and social test of the elections, and the great nation in a complex and difficult situation, with its meaningful and honorable presence, manifested the rule of the people's vote over the administration of the country's affairs and showed its determination to follow the enlightened path of the Revolution, which is the path of justice, progress, freedom and dignity, by choosing a popular and noble personality of the lineage of sovereignty and knowledge, adorned with piety and wisdom, and with brilliant records of management.
Today our dear homeland is thirsty for service and ready for a surge in all domains, and requires a competent manager with diligence and wisdom and bravery that can mobilize the hidden capabilities of the nation, especially the youth that go far beyond the problems and remove the barriers to production; pursue the policy of strengthening the national currency, and empower the middle and lower classes of society, which are burdened by economic problems; a manager that, with a wise cultural policy, paves the way for the material and spiritual upliftment of the Iranian nation which should accelerate the country's movement towards its worthy position.
Now, thanks to the dear people and following their selection in casting vote for Seyyed Ebrahim Raisi, a wise, indefatigable, experienced and popular scholar, I appoint him President of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and remind that the vote of the nation and my endorsement is as long as the president's usual policy is to follow the straight path of Islam and the revolution, which will be the case by the grace of God.
