Tehran: Ayatollah Sadegh Amoli-Larijani, head of Iran's Expediency Council, stated that the blood of martyrs from the 12-day war, an Israeli-imposed war of aggression which lasted from 13 to 24 June 2025, has strengthened national unity and reinforced the spirit of resistance among the Iranian people.

According to Islamic Republic News Agency, in a message marking the first anniversary of the martyrdom of senior commanders in the second imposed war on the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ayatollah Amoli-Larijani referred to figures, including IRGC commanders and nuclear scientists, stating that Iran's adversaries failed to achieve their goals despite their hostility and crimes.

He highlighted that the United States and the Israeli regime had aimed to weaken the Islamic system and create division within Iranian society. However, he emphasized that the sacrifices of the martyrs instead strengthened unity and renewed the nation's determination to resist external pressure.

The events ultimately reinforced solidarity among Iranians and deepened commitment to national resilience, he noted.
