In his message, Shahmirzaei conveyed his heartfelt condolences to
Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and the Iranian nation. He emphasized the
unwavering commitment to the service and development of the country despite the
tragic loss.
According to NIPNA, Shahmirzaei's message stated:
"In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful,
The Great Family of the Petrochemical Industry,
With deep regret and sadness, we mourn the martyrdom of our beloved
President, Ayatollah Dr. Ebrahim Raisi, and his companions, who achieved the
esteemed rank of martyrdom while serving our Islamic homeland.
Surely, the mission and the selfless service of this great martyr, as
the second martyred president of the Islamic Republic of Iran, will continue.
As the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Imam Khamenei, has stated, 'No
disruption will occur in the country's affairs, and everything will proceed
systematically.'
The petrochemical industry family across the nation, in solidarity
with the noble people and the honorable government, remains committed to the
country's progress and excellence. Despite these sorrowful days, we will
continue our diligent and devoted efforts in the petrochemical sector, adhering
to the path outlined by our leaders. As Imam Khomeini said, 'A work done for
God, not for individuals or personalities, does not halt with the departure of
individuals, because God is everlasting. If Rajaei and others are not here, God
remains.'
