SAEDNEWS: In a fiery declaration captured on video, a severely wounded Iranian air defense veteran proclaimed unwavering loyalty to his country, vowing to sacrifice himself once more if necessary—despite the scars of past wars.
According to Saed News, a poignant video has surfaced showing a veteran of Iran’s Army Air Defense making an emotional pledge of allegiance to his country, declaring readiness to lay down his life again if the nation demands it. His statement comes in the wake of Israel’s recent attacks on Iranian territory, during which the Islamic Republic’s air defenses mounted what officials described as a “resolute” response.
The unnamed veteran, visibly burned and disabled from previous combat, speaks with unshaken resolve in the clip: “Even though my body is burned, if the time comes again, I will sacrifice myself for the people of Iran.” The footage, which has gained traction on Persian social media, has been widely interpreted as a symbol of national resilience amid mounting regional volatility.
Iranian state media has used such testimonies to emphasize the enduring spirit of the country’s military forces and their readiness to defend national sovereignty against foreign aggression. The veteran’s message, delivered during a period of heightened military alert and patriotic fervor, underscores Tehran’s narrative of defiance in the face of Israeli military pressure.
