One year has passed I think in

the history of the Islamic Republic of Iran, it is unprecedented. We had two wars,

we put one war behind us, and we also

have one war ongoing.

We have presented many martyrs.

From among our people,

from among our children,

and from among our officials, from among our commanders, and above all of them,

the Supreme Leader,

who was deserving of attaining this great rank. This medal of

honor in the record of a lifetime of his struggle was lacking, and it was added,

praise be to God.

In this respect

it was a hard year,

but at the same time filled with pride, with dignity, and with honor.

We started a war, we had a war at the beginning of the year, roughly,

that our enemies began with a demand

for unconditional surrender

and at the end of twelve days

they requested, please, unconditional ceasefire.

This time they carried out the same scenario, but with greater

intensity and strength, they mobilized all their forces

so that this time that unconditional surrender would definitely happen.

Well, the vast volume of attacks, The move they made on

the first day,

you know all of this better than I do,

and again with the phrase“ unconditional surrender”

they started.

And today, after almost fifteen days since the war began,

for the security of the Strait of Hormuz

they are turning to those whom until yesterday they considered enemies.

They ask other countries to come and help them,

so that the Strait of Hormuz will remain open, which of course,

from our point of view, it is. It is only closed to our enemies,

to those who

carried out a cowardly aggression against our country, and their allies.
