In the Name of God, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful

The return of the sacred body of the esteemed martyr, Brigadier General Pilot Majid Kazemi, after months of waiting, is a familiar chapter in the enduring story of the sons of Iran—men who remained faithful to their covenant with Iran, Islam, and the Iranian people until their very last breath.

Today, this proud martyr has returned to his homeland. Yet the truth is that he became immortal in the hearts of the Iranian nation from the very moment he took to the skies to defend the dignity and security of this land."

Martyr Majid Kazemi carried out his mission with courage, strength, faith, and unwavering loyalty to his homeland and its people. On his return, he stained the skies over the Persian Gulf with his pure blood. Although the return of this brave pilot's remains renews the sorrow of his loss, it also reminds the Iranian nation of the loyalty of its heroic sons, who remained true to their oath to Iran and the Revolution until their final breath.

The distinguished community of military pilots has always stood at the forefront of defending the homeland. Through the dedication of its great commanders, this noble path has become an enduring model of sacrifice, courage, and commitment—a tradition that continues today in the faithful and valiant pilots of this land.

Today, after months of waiting, the family of this beloved martyr is finally able to embrace his remains. Yet the entire Iranian nation shares in this farewell, for he was a father, a brother, and a son to all Iranians—a nation whose security, independence, and strength are owed to the selfless sacrifices of men who gave their lives so that the flag of this God-given homeland would never fall.

Without a doubt, the pure blood of this martyr, and of all the martyrs who strengthened the nation's power, will make the Islamic Republic of Iran's defensive capabilities and deterrent strength even more resilient. Their path will continue through the unwavering determination of the nation's servicemen, scientists, engineers, and those serving in Iran's defense and defense industries.
