Details of a Significant Event

Now, I don't want to go into details.

From the very moment this happened, the Leader's martyrdom became certain,

maybe an hour after the bombing,

when it became clear and we realized,

we got to work until we managed to gather the heads of the branches.

May God bless Martyr Lajevardi.

We all made an effort to get them to come, follow up, and gather; it was 8:

00 p.m. when we gathered.

Even Ayatollah Mahdavi Kani and others, because of the Assembly, the Assembly...

members of the Guardian Council to follow up on things.

Now, I don't want to explain all that.

I want to say how the street took shape.

We made a decision there, all seven or eight of us,

as to when we should announce the Leader's martyrdom.

In short, the final decision was to announce it at 8:

00 a.m. tomorrow— it was also the holy month of Ramadan.

Then, around 10: 00 or 10: 30, we were all together, and we quickly dispersed.

At 12: 30 a.m., the foreign TV channels

announced the martyrdom, which...

Well, we no longer had access to anyone, the friends...

we had decided, they had all left.

Anyway, with Mr. Mahdavi Kani, may he rest in peace,

it was around 1: 00 or 1: 30 a.m. again, we found each other, and since we

regularly... The two of us had made arrangements to regularly meet,

in short, with the plans we had made, we would meet at the designated times

and places. Around 1: 00 a.m.,

we spoke again about what had happened, and now they had decided on 8:

00 tomorrow morning. Because we...

we had to contact the Assembly members starting at dawn.

Mr. Zavarei and Mr. Mahdavi Kani were following up,

they had to get their votes by phone, designate the members,

so the Leadership Council would become official,

so by 8: 00 a.m. we could announce the martyrdom and say the Council was formed.

But we saw that if things went on this way,

with the direction we were seeing, it just wouldn't work at all.

Mr. Mahdavi Kani and I made a decision together.

We said," Come what may," as they say.

We can see what is happening now, We must make a decision,

and definitely at dawn, when people are at the dawn meal table,

we should announce it and tell everyone,

whether they've finished eating or not, to take to the streets.

Otherwise, believe me,

the situation on the streets could have turned out completely differently.

A different way…

As time went by, I saw it was God's grace. It was God's favor.

Maybe something else would have happened.

In the morning, everyone would come and say," Who were you two?

We sat and made a decision, and then you went and made that decision?"

But all our security understanding, all our intellect,

We checked dozens of locations and saw that this was the case.

We said," We will make the decision," and truly, truly, this nation has risen up.

It has been 150 nights now.

These are coming, and these have become.

Well, we have the field of the street, the field of service,

the field of diplomacy and negotiation, and the military field.

Anyone who separates these, anyone who says" that one exists,

this one doesn't"— they must be together, they must complement each other,

they must be balanced, And I take God as my witness that during these 150 days,

meaning from that dozens- of- days war until now, I have not for a single

moment withheld the important matters of these frameworks.
