The Leader's message on the occasion of National Islamic Republic Day, and National Nature Day

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

“It is He who brought you into being from the earth and made you its inhabitants” (Quran 11:61).

The heroic nation of Iran has intertwined this Nowruz (New Year) with an epic spirit and a deep sense of honor. After commemorating the 12th of Farvardin, which is the National Islamic Republic Day, they now prepare to welcome Nature Day. At a time when the contemptible, ruthless US-Zionist enemy knows no bounds in its inhumanity, is disregarding all moral and ethical limits, and has even attacked and harmed the natural environment and ecological spaces of our beloved homeland, any efforts aimed at development and building a bright future for Iran are worthy, necessary acts. One such commendable action is for people in all cities and villages to work in cooperation and coordination with the support of relevant authorities to plant fruit trees starting from Nature Day and continuing until the end of spring, especially during the days of this month of Farvardin, and for them to provide the necessary follow-up care [of these trees].
The child‑killing US and Zionist demons brutally martyred the young students of the Shajareh Tayebeh [Blessed Tree] School. But the Iranian nation, in honor of all its martyrs and particularly those of the Third Imposed War, will plant seedlings of hope throughout the land, so that each one, God willing, will grow into a blessed tree and bear abundant fruit in the years to come.
