Carry on resolutely, Leader tells IRGC staff

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei directed the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) personnel to proceed with their activities vigorously.

According to Tasnim news agency, Ayatollah Khamenei, the Commander-in-Chief of the Iranian Armed Forces, sent a message to IRGC Commander Major General Hossein Salami on the Guardians’ Day, commemorated on the birth anniversary of Imam Hussein (PBUH), the third Shias' Imam.

Sending his regards for all IRGC servicemen, the Leader wished them success and called on them to proceed with their worthy activities vigorously.
