Ayatollah Khamenei’s Condolence Message Following the Terrorist Attack on Shah Cheragh
Ayatollah Khamenei expressed condolences in a message regarding the terrorist incident at the Shah Cheragh Shrine in Shiraz.
The text of this message is as follows: The heinous crime at the holy shrine of Ahmad bin Musa (peace be upon him), which resulted in the martyrdom and injury of dozens of innocent men, women, and children, has saddened and grieved hearts.
The perpetrator or perpetrators of this sorrowful crime will certainly be punished, but the grief of the loved ones and the desecration of the shrine of the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them) will not be compensated except by tracing the roots of these disasters and taking decisive and wise action regarding them.
We all have duties in confronting the hand of the enemy that incites fire and his treacherous or ignorant and heedless agents. From security agencies and the judiciary to those active in the fields of thought and promotion, and to all dear people, we must be united against the current that disregards and disrespects the lives, security, and sanctities of the people.
The dear nation and responsible agencies will certainly overcome the malicious plots of the enemies, God willing. I extend my condolences to the bereaved families of this incident, to the people of Shiraz, and to the entire nation of Iran, and I pray for the recovery of the injured from Almighty God.
