Before anything else, I have to congratulate you on Nowruz in these critical days and this critical situation.

I truly think that under normal circumstances

such a big center, a Red Crescent center,

already has a very hard job, let alone in these difficult days

that have come upon our country.

I am glad that now I think all the centers are directly

seeing this image. I want, as a small member,

the smallest member of this society, a small member of these people,

to thank you, Mr. Kolivand.

I kiss your hand,

and the hands of all the friends in the Red Crescent, in the Red Crescent Society,

who in these days are in fact giving up their lives and safety for Iran

and saving lives. I truly want to thank you.

I kiss each and every one of your hands,

and I considered it my duty to come here and pay my respects

and to say “well done” to you, which is really very little.

Truly, for any reason, under any pretext, in any circumstance,

I think that laying a hand on and violating the soil of this country

To our beloved Iran, in any situation, from wherever it comes

it is truly rejected and condemned, thank you
