Decree [Appointment of the army commander]

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

While appreciating the untiring efforts of Colonel Sayyad Shirazi who, through total commitment to Islam and the Islamic Republic, has not refrained from rendering any kind of service to the Islamic country throughout the sacred defense, and, hopefully, will continue with his valuable services in the future in every capacity, I agree with that proposal and appoint Colonel Husayn Husayni Sa`di as the commander of army I hope that God Almighty will grant him success in serving Islam, Iran and the Islamic Republic.
