🔹We definitely won’t allow the criminal aggressors who attacked our country to go unpunished. We will certainly demand full reparations for all damages caused, as well as blood money for the martyrs and compensation for the war's wounded. We will definitely take the management of the Strait of Hormuz to a new phase. We have not sought, nor do we seek, war; yet we will in no way relinquish our legitimate rights.

🔻 The Islamic Army, in compact, solid ranks, and standing side by side with their comrades from the other armed forces, is battling the two leading armies of disbelief and Arrogance. In the same way that its drones strike the US and the Zionist murderers like lightning, its valiant navy is also ready to inflict new bitter defeats on its enemies.

🇮🇷 Hearts united under the flag of the homeland
A significant degree of unity has been formed. People’s hearts have become closer to one another, the frozen divides between different segments of society have begun to melt, and people have gathered under the flag of the homeland. Day by day, the number of these gatherings continues to increase and many of those who have not yet been able to physically participate remain, in their hearts, fully in solidarity with the multitudes gathered in the public squares.

📊 Iran's three definitive stances
A review of the definitive and key points emphasized by Imam Sayyid Mojtaba Khamenei, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, regarding the Third Imposed War in his message on April 9, 2026
@MKhamenei_en
🔸 Battle and resistance on three fronts
The announcement of an intention to enter negotiations with the enemy must not lead to the belief that the public’s presence in the streets is no longer necessary. On the contrary, even if the time has come - hypothetically speaking - for a period of silence in the military battlefield, the duty of every citizen who is able to be present in the public squares, neighborhoods, and mosques has become even more significant than before.

🔸A blessed tree: The harvest of 37 years of Martyr Khamenei's Leadership
When our martyred Leader assumed the mantle of leadership, the Islamic Republic was akin to a young sapling that had suffered numerous wounds inflicted by the enemies of Islam and Iran. But when he left the seat of the Ummah’s leadership after nearly 37 years, he left behind a blessed tree, the roots of which are strong, with its branches and leaves casting a protective shade over significant parts of the region and the world.

🔴Imam Sayyid Mojtaba Khamenei, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, issued a message on the occasion of the anniversary of the creation of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Army and the birth anniversary of the martyred Leader.
✍In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
“Indeed, Allah loves those who fight in His way in ranks, as if they were a strong structure” (Quran 61:4).
🔺 The 29th of Farvardin (April 18th) is the auspicious anniversary of the creation of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Army, which was named by the Great Imam Khomeini (ra) with his wise innovation. I congratulate everyone in the Army, their esteemed families, and the great nation of Iran on this occasion.
🔼 The victory of the Islamic Revolution can be considered to be a dividing line between two sections in the life of the Army. It should be seen as the end of a period of weakness what was imposed on the country’s courageous, truthful Army and soldiers by the enemies of this land and water and at the hands of traitors from inside the country.
🔺 From that time on, the Army stood in its rightful place. Instead of being under the control of the tyrannical, corrupt Pahlavi regime, it was in the warm embrace of the nation. Truly, the Army is like the nation’s child, which arises from within the heart of the people’s homes.
🔼 The Army was soon able to create an epic by confronting the sinister schemes of the US, the descendants of the Pahlavi tyrant, and the separatists who wished for a divided Iran.
🔺 The Islamic Army is now courageously defending the land, water, and flag that belong to it, just as it did in the previous two imposed wars. With its strong support from God and the people, in compact, solid ranks, and standing side by side with their comrades from the other armed forces, it’s battling the two leading armies of disbelief and Arrogance. And the Islamic Army has exposed those armies’ weakness and humiliation to the world.
🔼 In the same way that its drones strike the US and the Zionist murderers like lightning, its valiant navy is also ready to inflict new bitter defeats on its enemies.
🔺 Furthermore, the 29th of Farvardin also marks the birthday of someone who was a unique person in our era. That is, our illustrious, martyred Leader. He was a person who exerted his utmost efforts to protect the Army against sinister calls for its dissolution from the very first decade of the Revolution. After that, he continued to work tirelessly to enhance the Army’s capabilities in various dimensions. Without a doubt, the upward trajectory in the increase of the diverse capabilities of this noble institution backed by the people, which safeguards the country from the east to the west and from the north to the south, must be continued with increased effort. God willing, the necessary directives for the realization of this will be issued in the near future.
🔼 On this path, special attention must be paid to the heroic figures who through successive generations of leadership guided and directed the Army during the past five decades. Many of those people have joined the ranks of the martyrs. Their focus on their plans, actions, and honorable, sincere conduct will be instructive and inspiring for all members of the Armed Forces. This includes distinguished figures, such as Qarani, Fallahi, Namjoo, Fakouri, Babaei, Sattari, Ardestani, and Sayyid Shirazi, along with the most recent renowned martyrs, such as Sayyid Abdolrahim Mousavi and Aziz Nasirzadeh.
🔺 May Almighty God’s peace and blessings be upon all the mujahideen of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Army, from its commanders and officers to its unsung, anonymous personnel and soldiers. May Almighty God’s peace and greetings be upon all the Army’s selfless veterans and wounded soldiers. And may God’s special mercy be upon the honorable families of all the martyrs of this war imposed by the US and Zionist regime on the great nation of Iran.
May God’s greetings, mercy, and blessings be upon you.

✏️ Stand on the right side and reject Arrogant Powers who humiliate and exploit you
I say to Iran’s southern neighbors: you are witnessing a miracle. So observe closely, understand matters correctly, stand on the right side, and be distrusful of the false promises of the devils. We’re still waiting for an appropriate response from you, our southern neighbors, so that we may demonstrate our brotherhood and goodwill to you. This will not be realized unless you renounce the Arrogant Powers, who miss no opportunity to humiliate and exploit you.
