The full text of the message from the Commander-in-Chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is as follows:

In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

The 3rd of Sha’ban al-Mu’azzam, the anniversary of the birth of the Master and Leader of the Martyrs and the Leader of the Free People of the World, Imam Hussein (peace be upon him), which was named “Guardian Day” by the immortal and remarkable initiative of Imam Khomeini (may God bless his soul), is congratulated to all brave and Ashura-like Guardians of the Islamic Revolution, who shine on the front lines among the warriors and combatants of Islam defending the ideals, achievements, and values of the Revolution and the Islamic system, safeguarding the national security of the country, and serving Iran and Iranians sincerely.

In this exhilarating season, which reminds us of the Husayni epic in Karbala, we proudly and loudly declare:

We are Guardians, we will remain Guardians, and under God’s grace and benevolence, alongside other faithful and devoted warriors of dear Iran, in a united, ironclad formation, we will strengthen the shield of the nation’s power and security against the storms of enmity and the conspiracies of the Zionist-American enemies more than ever before. We warn the criminal, wicked, and anti-human enemies—especially the United States and the fake and racist Zionist regime—to avoid any miscalculations, taking heed of historical experiences and the lessons learned from the 12-day imposed war, lest they face a more painful and regretful fate. The Guardians of the Islamic Revolution and dear Iran, with their fingers on the trigger, are more ready than ever to execute the orders and measures of the Supreme Leader, their dearest Commander-in-Chief.

While commemorating this auspicious day, and also congratulating the birth of Hazrat Abolfazl al-Abbas (peace be upon him), the standard-bearer of Karbala and “Veterans Day,” as well as the birth of Hazrat Zain al-Abidin Imam Sajjad (peace be upon him), we salute the eternal martyrs of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, especially the martyred commanders and Guardians Hossein Salami, Qasem Soleimani, Gholamali Rashid, Mohammad Bagheri, Ali Shadmani, Amir Ali Hajizadeh, and other martyred commanders and Guardians in the 12-day imposed war, the recent American-instigated sedition, and other heroic Iranian martyrs on the path of liberating Jerusalem.

I ask Almighty God for the continued success and brilliance of the powerful, people-supported IRGC and the dear Guardians of the Revolution in carrying out their critical missions, especially in sensitive historical conditions, under the guidance of Hazrat Baqiyatallah al-Azam (may God hasten his reappearance) and following the wise directives, commands, and guidance of the rightful deputy, the Supreme Leader, Commander-in-Chief, Grand Ayatollah Imam Khamenei (may God preserve him).
