His Eminence said, “With God is our victory, who has blessed his righteous slaves in the fight against the enemies of the religion [of Islam] and of our homeland,” and added, “With their great courage and their sacrifices, the martyrs of Iraq are the keys to the victory, dignity, honour and unity of this country and their names will be recorded in history.”

Ayatollah al-Najafi also visited the orphaned children of the martyrs and expressed sympathy with them.

He also stated, “The mothers of the martyrs will have a lofty status near Lady Fatimah al-Zahra on the Day of Judgement because they sent their children to the battlefield to defend Imam al-Husayn and the purified imams.”
