Iranian Parliament Speaker Jafari today paid tribute to the late Supreme Leader Khamenei: "You endured the hardships of time so that Iran could become a home for the good-hearted. You shed tears of blood from your soul so that Iran might shine like a radiant gem... Our teacher and guide, we deeply miss you. Pray for us, that we may ultimately find a noble destiny and become devoted servants of our beloved Iran—more precious than life itself."
Commentary: Jafari's words represent a political pledge by Iran's top leadership at a critical juncture of war: invoking mourning and national grief to unite the people, transforming the leader into a martyr-like spiritual banner. This serves both to stabilize internal morale among military and civilians, and to send a clear message to the outside world that Iran will not yield to the United States or Israel—conveying an unwavering commitment to continue its resistance path and fight fiercely to defend national interests.
