Full text of the ICT minister’s message
of felicitation follows:
“In the Name of Allah, the Most
Gracious, the Most Merciful
On the threshold of another spring,
in a year that passed with distress and hopes, a new Nowruz and New Year are on
the way, the beginning of which coincides with the great Eid al-Fitr this year.
Thanks to these auspicious occasions, we welcome Nowruz with double hopes, so
that after the difficult year that passed, we can create a year full of
motivation, movement and achievement.
The past year had many ups and downs,
and its last month was accompanied by the ascension of the Supreme Leader of
the nation and our eminent commanders. The aggressor US army killed more than
150 Minabi blossoms and thousands of other compatriots, so that the rubble of
sorrow and mourning fell on the genuine Iranians. The martyrdom of noble
Iranians and the destruction of homes and various medical and educational
centers, were successive wounds that were relieved by the unparalleled struggle
of the brave armed forces and the dedication and sacrifice of the statesmen and
all the servants of the country in the path of the leadership of the
revolution.
In this year, we keep our trust in the
steadfast faith of the noble people encouraged by the blessings and compassion
of God, and we believe that the Ramadhan war, at the end of this holy month and
at the same time Nowruz, which coincides with Eid al-Fitr, will result in the
pride of Iran in the world and will bury the plot to destroy and divide Iran.
I sincerely congratulate you on the
arrival of the New Year and these great occasions and hope that the patience
and steadfastness of these days will serve as the capital for the construction
and prosperity of our beloved Iran’s tomorrow, so that together we can overcome
the devastations and disruptions.
The great family of ICT Ministry is
working tirelessly and at all times to eliminate any disruptions in providing
services to the people and to untie the knot of delays and shortcomings, taking
into account the war conditions. In these circumstances, we are once again
grateful for the bravery of the men and women who are creating an epic in
defending the country and serving the people. We are also carrying out our best
to pay respect to the noble people and our beloved country.
In these days, with trust in God, we
look forward to bright days ahead and wish for numerous happy events, so that
God's grace may bless us like a spring rain and wash away the American-Zionist
fire that has fallen on the homeland and bring forth new seedlings.
God bless Iran and our nation.
Happy New Year, Eid al-Fitr and Nowruz.
Seyed Sattar Hashemi”
