According to Pars Today, the text of the message from Major General Ali Abdollahi, commander of the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters of the Islamic Republic of Iran, on the occasion of commemorating the first anniversary of the second imposed war, states: "On the eve of the first 23rd of Khordad, the anniversary of the beginning of the Sacred Defense of the Iranian nation against the 12-day imposed war of the Zionist regime and America, we honor the memory of the precious martyrs of the authority of Islamic Iran, especially the senior commanders of the Armed Forces and defenders of the homeland, among whom shine the names of 'Martyr Lieutenant Generals Mohammad Baqeri, Gholamali Rashid, Ali Shadmani, and Hossein Salami, and Major General Amir Ali Hajizadeh.' They, with their epic of sacrifice and devotion, added another chapter to the history of honor, resistance, and nation-building of a powerful Iran."

Major General Abdollahi emphasized: "This battle showed that the Iranian nation, in the face of threat and aggression, defends the country's sovereignty, independence, security, and national interests through unity, steadfastness, obedience to the Supreme Leader of the Revolution and Commander-in-Chief, and the capabilities of the Armed Forces. And the enemies, with their miscalculations and delusions, failed to achieve their evil and satanic goals and faced a strategic and humiliating defeat."

The statement adds: "As we commemorate this sacred and historic defense, now in the conditions of the Sacred Defense against the third American imposed war, we witness the widespread and conscious presence of the people in supporting the ideals of the Islamic Revolution and the Armed Forces, pledging allegiance to the supreme authority of the Guardianship and leadership of Grand Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Hosseini Khamenei, and seeking vengeance for the martyred Imam. This is an enduring manifestation of national unity and cohesion and support for the path of resistance. Having passed more than 100 nights of passionate, glorious, praiseworthy, and admirable field presence, they have revealed their important role in strengthening the country's deterrent power and solidified it in the eyes of the world."

The statement further states: "With gratitude to the Almighty God and appreciation for the honorable families of the martyrs, veterans, and self-sacrificing combatants of the 12-day imposed war, it is emphasized: 'The Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran, with full readiness, vigilance, and intelligence dominance, will decisively respond to any threat against the country's security, independence, and territorial integrity with impact-oriented, painful, and regret-inducing operations.' Undoubtedly, the path of the martyrs of the honor and authority of Islamic Iran, especially the martyred leader of the nation, Imam Seyyed Ali Khamenei, will continue, and the flag of independence, resistance, and pride of this land will remain raised higher than ever."
