Addressing a local gathering on the occasion of the martyrdom anniversary of Prophet Mohammad's exalted daughter Lady Fatima al-Zahra (SA), President Raisi commemorated the families of the police and security forces, called martyrs of security, who have lost their lives in the recent unrests across the country.
Commenting on the defeat of the enemies in an eight-year Iraqi-imposed war against Iran as well as the plots hatched by the foes against Iran, President Raisi underscored that the foes were intending to target the Islamic Revolution and the people via waging hybrid wars and new conspiracies, adding thanks to the vigilance of Iranian nation such measures were foiled.
Referring to the dual behavior of enemies in support of terrorism and their claims to back the Iranian people, he said, on one hand, the enemies of the Iranian nation chant "life" for our people, on the other hand, their armed operators martyr parents along with their 10-year old child.
On Oct 26, 2022, a terrorist armed with a machine gun opened fire on the pilgrims and evening prayer worshippers at the Shah Cheraq holy shrine, martyring 15 innocent people, including some women, children, and elderly folks, and seriously wounding 26 others.
