Araghchi: Iranians Gave Their Blood, But Not their Land; They Gave Their Beloved Children, But Not Their Dignity

According to Saednews, following his attendance at the funeral ceremony of the Martyrs of Power, our Foreign Minister, Seyyed Abbas Araghchi, wrote on his Instagram account:

"Though the loss of the martyrs is painful and heartbreaking, their memory and path remain alive in awakened hearts, and brave, aware, and faithful generations will carry their legacy forward."

He added: "Facilities and structures, however important and valuable, will return with renewed grandeur and greater strength over time, even if it takes years. But the pride of a nation is more precious than anything else. Today, the Iranian people, at the heart of a heroic resistance against two regimes armed with nuclear weapons, safeguarded their dignity and honor — and now, more proud, more dignified, and more steadfast than ever, they look to the future."

The Foreign Minister wrote: "In the glorious history of Iran that spans several millennia, these twelve days will shine like a gem on the crown of resilience. History will record: Iranians gave their blood, but not their land; they gave their beloved children, but not their dignity; they stood under the rain of multi-ton bombs, but did not surrender. Iran — my homeland, my very being — knows no such word as 'surrender.' And this year, the cry of 'Hayhat minna al-dhilla' of Imam Hussein resounds louder in Muharram than ever before."
