On the Occasion of the Funeral Ceremony for the “Martyrs of Iran’s Dignity”
Statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran on 28 June 2025

In the Name of God, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful

Today, the great people of Iran, on a day intertwined with the memory of Ashura, came together in a powerful and meaningful show of solidarity to bid farewell to the pure bodies of their fallen sons and daughters—men, women, and children—martyred during the imposed war launched by the Zionist regime and the United States.

This solemn and resolute presence not only reflected the unwavering loyalty of the Iranian people to the path of sacrifice and resistance for the homeland and the dignity of the Iranian nation, but also sent a clear message to the world: the people of Iran transform threats into unity, and turn war into an opportunity to realize national will and continue along their chosen path.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran honors the memory of the brave commanders, soldiers, scientists, and every single child of the nation who gave their lives in the face of the Zionist regime’s military aggression. The Ministry extends its congratulations and condolences to the patient and noble families of the martyrs and expresses deep gratitude to the wise and courageous Iranian nation.

The Ministry reiterates this enduring principle: security is not a gift bestowed by foreign powers, but the outcome of a nation’s steadfastness—of a people who, in defining historical moments, march firmly along the honorable path they have chosen.
