Khamenei’s defense message IRINN reads the full text

Sep 28

IRINN introduces and reads Khamenei’s September 28 Sacred Defense message. He contrasts the Iran–Iraq War with recent wars, claims military and political gains, praises public mobilization and women’s participation, and invokes Iran’s position in Hormuz. The message also pays tribute to Hassan Nasrallah and supports Naim Qassem and Hezbollah. Historical interpretations, recruitment numbers, power rankings and claims of victory remain the leader’s assertions, delivered in the broadcaster’s supportive framing.

In his September 28 message, Mojtaba Khamenei commemorates Hassan Nasrallah’s second death anniversary, praises his leadership and endorses Naim Qassem and Hezbollah’s continued resistance. He condemns reliance on outside powers and predicts humiliation for their supporters. IRINN reads the full tribute and quotes its praise in that evening’s rally montage. These are Khamenei’s commemorative and political judgments, not independently established military success or representative Lebanese opinion. The tribute is a distinct position within the same message that separately discusses Iran’s wartime power and public mobilization.
