According to Navideshahed report on Sunday, Yaghoub Soleimani made the remarks during the first webinar aimed at coordinating cultural and promotional programs for the Foundation of Martyrs and Veterans Affairs.

Commemorating the martyrs and praising the “jihadi spirit” of the Foundation’s staff, Soleimani stated: “Despite material constraints, the high volume of programs—especially over the past 100 days—and the creative execution of initiatives by those serving the martyrs’ families are truly commendable.”

The official highlighted the expansion of the “Salam Shahid” campaign over the past year, noting that it has now become a recognized cultural brand. He emphasized the necessity of continuing this path with greater synergy, innovation, and organizational strength.

“Our resolve to follow the path of the martyrs and honor their families will never falter,” Soleimani asserted. He added that the Foundation continues its mission by relying on the discourse and guidelines of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei.

The Deputy also pointed to recent innovative programs, specifically the “Salam Seyyed-e Shahid” initiative held during Eid al-Ghadir. He described it as a high-level cultural activity that showcased the deep-rooted bond between the Iranian people and the values of sacrifice.

In another part of his speech, Soleimani emphasized the importance of fostering hope within society. He addressed the psychological warfare led by “global arrogance” and the “infanticide Zionist regime,” stating that their media analysis of Iranian society is completely detached from reality.

“The presence of the people in various programs proves that their connection with the culture of martyrdom remains unshakable. Our people continue to stand by the ideals of the Revolution, the blood of the martyrs, and the guidance of the Imam of the Ummah and the Leader of the Revolution,” Soleimani concluded.
