Brigadier General Setari, the Honorable Commander of the Air Force of the Army of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and Brigadier General Ansari, Commander of the Aviation of the Army of the Islamic Republic of Iran; the beloved and heroic pilots of the Air Force of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the brave and courageous pilots of the Aviation:
I am grateful for the tiresome efforts of you and all the committed and concerned individuals who have a role, one way or another, in preparations of the flights. During the imposed war, especially in the sensitive circumstances of today, you have exerted and will exert all your efforts in defense along with the combatants in the scenes of conflict and our Islamic country.
Your bravery has delighted the hearts of those who love their country and believe in Islam. At the difficult scenes of combat you taught lesson to the enemies of our beloved country not to imagine again for committing aggression against our country and our revitalizing school of our compatriots.
I shake the hand of each of you and pray for you from core of my heart. May God help and protect you. With hope for victory of the combatants of Islam over global kufr (disbelief). May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon you.
