IRCS President offered condolences on the martyrdom of the Supreme Leader
TEHRAN, 01 March 2026 (IRCS) - The President of the Iranian Red Crescent Society (IRCS) extended his condolences following the martyrdom of The Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khameni.
The message of Pir Hossein Kolivand reads as follows:
The Red Crescent Society of the Islamic Republic of Iran, with a heart filled with sorrow yet held high with pride, extends its condolences and felicitations on this monumental martyrdom to His Holiness Vali-ye-Asr (aj), the great nation of Iran, the esteemed families of the martyrs, and all free-spirited individuals across the globe.
For us, whose mission is to alleviate human suffering and stand beside the people in their most difficult moments, this martyrdom served as another profound lesson: a lesson in courage, reliance on God, presence in the face of danger, and relentless service. Our leader, dearer than our own lives, demonstrated that true men of God do not remain in safety zones; they stand at the heart of the event, pledging their very lives as collateral for the nation's dignity.
Today, we, the employees, relief workers, youth, and volunteers of the Iranian Red Crescent, with tearful eyes but steadfast hearts, make a promise to our martyred leader to continue his path in service, sacrifice, national unity, and the defense of human dignity.
