Legacy of martyred Khamenei's foreign policy vision

Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi outlines the late Leader's diplomatic framework: 'Dignity, Wisdom, and Expediency.' Independence meant active global engagement, not isolation. Resistance diplomacy was not mere confrontation—it was strategic reasoning to advance national interests from a position of strength. Regional security, he emphasized, must come from within, not external alliances. His legacy guides Iran's future: principled yet pragmatic, idealistic yet realistic. As Araghchi affirms, power is not domination—it is the ability to foster equal cooperation and safeguard national values. A vision that turns diplomacy into a shield of dignity.

The epitome of resistance against bullies and hegemons

Ayatollah Khamenei stood firm against U.S. carriers and Israeli aggression, championing Iran's dignity and nuclear rights for nearly four decades. His legacy, as Zarif noted, was safeguarding sovereignty through defense, unity, and diplomacy. Now, millions honor him in a historic six-day farewell across Tehran, Qom, Mashhad, Najaf, and Karbala—each city reflecting his spiritual and political journey. His final resting place beside Imam Reza (AS) symbolizes a leader who never bowed to bullies and whose resistance lives on in every mourner's heartbeat.

Commander's prudence: Infinite power from limitations

Army Chief Maj. Gen. Amir Hatami writes: "Separation from our Leader is grief greater than losing one's father." Yet martyrdom was his worthy end. Ayatollah Khamenei taught that power dependent on foreign tech is not enduring—we must draw infinite strength from limitations. His strategic foresight, nearly 50 visits to military academies, and direct leadership secured victory in both the Twelve-Day and Forty-Day Wars. Today, every officer is fruit of his vision. Following Imam Hussain's path, his martyrdom marks a new stage of struggle. Under Imam Mojtaba Khamenei, we defend Iran at the cost of our lives.
