The endless rank of those wishing this blessing and those committed to path of Jihad and martyrdom in the Islamic Iran and in IRGC and all Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic is a long rank and ‘compact structure’: “and of them are some who still wait, and they have not changed in the least” (33:23). May Divine blessings be upon martyr Hamedani and all fighters in the path of truth.
