Iran's Foreign Minister, Ali Akbar Salehi, issued a condolence message on the 18th following the martyrdom of Larijani.

I have attempted to translate the entire Persian condolence message into Chinese, and I could feel Salehi's respect for Larijani and his deep sorrow over his martyrdom.

The condolence message is as follows:

In the name of the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate

"Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un"

(Note: This phrase is from the Quran, meaning "We belong to Allah, and to Him we shall return." It is used to express acceptance, patience, and submission to the will of God in the face of death, disaster, or difficulty.)

"With immense grief and sorrow, I extend my condolences to the Supreme Leader, his esteemed family, and the noble Iranian Islamic nation, and express my condolences for the unjust martyrdom of Dr. Ali Larijani, the Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council."

He was martyred due to a terrorist attack by the brutal U.S.-Zionist enemies, and received the great grace of martyrdom.

Dr. Larijani was one of the most outstanding figures in Iranian politics and a symbol of moderation, rationality, and strategic thinking.

With many years of valuable experience gained on domestic and international stages, he had become a highly influential figure in Iran's decision-making process.

During his tenure as the Speaker of the Parliament and the Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, I had the privilege of working closely with him, which allowed me to personally understand his wisdom, management skills, and patriotic spirit. (Note: The Supreme National Security Council is the highest leadership body of the armed forces and the institution responsible for formulating defense policy. It consists of representatives of the Supreme Leader and the President, the commander of the Revolutionary Guards, the commander of the Armed Forces, the chairman of the Planning Organization, and members from departments such as intelligence, foreign affairs, and economy. Foreign Minister Salehi is also a member of the Supreme National Security Council.)

The loss of such an outstanding figure is a great and irreparable loss for the Islamic system.

Following the ideological legacy and cooperative experience left by this outstanding martyr, Iran's foreign policy will continue to develop more accurately, coherently, and efficiently.
