In the name of God, I am Second Colonel Seyed Mohammad Seyed Khorasani, Second Colonel of the Army Air Force.

Today’s date is the 30th of Dey, 1399. I have submitted my resignation to the Army authorities.

I will read for you in this video part of the text of my resignation that I submitted to the Army authorities today.

Because of the injustice and oppression that I have seen with my own eyes, unfortunately I no longer consider serving in the Army to be service to the people of Iran, and I consider the salary I receive to be forbidden for me.

Today I handed this report to the Army authorities and I resigned from the Army.

In order to clarify the matter, I must state the following.

I have no political affiliation whatsoever.

I hate politics.

I love my homeland, the people of my country, and humanity.

And solely because of the oppression, corruption, and ineffectiveness that exist in the system of the Islamic Republic, I am resigning from the Army.

I believe that the Iranian nation deserves a better life.

And this injustice that is being done to the Iranian nation is not deserved.

Once again, I was stating today’s date for you.

Today is the thirtieth of the tenth month, year one thousand three hundred and ninety-nine.

Thank you.
