Oh children of the Islamic Resistance and freedom-loving nations of the world and dear people of Iran! On this day, God Almighty chose Major General Qasem Soleymani, the great revolutionary who stood up fought against the colonists, and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, the brave commander of Islam, for martyrdom.
The martyred Major General Soleymani and his Iraqi companions sought martyrdom and achieved it in a heroic manner and deserved martyrdom.

Major General Soleymani is a prominent figure in contemporary history who has made unprecedented and unparalleled achievements in the fight against the Zionist regime and the United States of America and has been able to impose many defeats on them.
All of the freedom-loving people in the world are waiting for the flames to rage beneath the feet of the American occupation in Iraq and the valiant Iraqi warriors will not sit down until the last occupation force leaves their country.
