“Beloved and steadfast people of Iran, through your historic resistance and the bravery of our armed forces against those who sought to take the lives of this nation and destroy and subjugate this country, Iran has taken a great stride toward final victory. They wanted to—but they could not,” he said in a social media post on X.
