Acknowledgment of appreciation of the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran

Greetings to the brave nation of Iran and all the armed forces of the country on the occasion of Farvardin 29, marking the anniversary of the heroic and gallant Army of the Islamic Republic of Iran! [1]

The Army Day is an epoch-making day for the nation. It is a very proud day for the country and is full of honor for the army and the other armed forces. [2]

Although Army Day in the Islamic Republic is not separate from the day of the people, thank God, the army is popular and at the service of people who are so indivisibly integrated and constitute one entity. Army Day is the day of the people. However, a day for the army has been declared for greater honor and praise of the valorous combatants. The honorable people of Iran declared 29 Farvardin as the felicitous day of the army, congratulating them on the occasion. [3]

I would like to extend my gratitude to all the armed forces, especially the dear, faithful and self-sacrificing forces of the Army, officers, soldiers, high-ranking officers, various commissioned and non-commissioned officers, dear commanders, my representatives in the Army and advisory offices, the Defense Ministry and all the organizations affiliated to the Army. I pray God to increase the power, dignity and glory of these upright defenders of the Islamic homeland and to associate their honorable martyrs with great martyrs of Islam. We have all achieved the gift of security, freedom and independence thanks to their sacrifices. [4]
