In a message, Mohsen Paknejad acknowledged the sacrifices and dedication of
the oil industry workforce, describing them as being at the forefront of
economic service and struggle.
He stated that in the most challenging circumstances, they have
demonstrated that service is the most beautiful form of worship.
The message highlighted the significance of the current period, marked by
the confluence of spring, the holy month of Ramadan (leading to Eid al-Fitr),
and the anniversary of oil nationalisation on March 18. It also alluded to a
period of mourning for a “martyred leader” and other high-ranking military and
state officials, suggesting recent national tragedies.
Paknejad praised the historical resilience and solidarity of the Iranian
people against foreign aggressors, emphasizing how this strength, combined with
the power of the nation’s military forces, heralds great victories.
He specifically addressed the employees of the oil industry as “sincere
children of this land” who have proven their commitment in the face of
adversity.
The minister expressed gratitude to his colleagues across all sectors of
the oil industry and wished them acceptance of their devotions.
He concluded by reiterating his hopes for the glory, pride, and victory of
Islamic Iran in all aspects, particularly in its “struggle against the
American-Zionist enemy.”
