“In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
"Whoever relies on Allah, then Allah is sufficient for
him" Holy Quran
I would like to commemorate the historic victory of the great
nation of Iran on the 40th day of the martyrdom of the beloved leader of the
nation and a group of commanders and sons of this land -- a success that was
achieved after forty days of resistance and perseverance. Days that despite beginning
with sorrow, the morning of victory breathed from their hearts.
What flourished during this period was nothing but the resilience
and solidarity of the proud people of Iran, along with the unceasing services
of the nation’s servants, especially the courage of the soldiers and students,
and the resistance of all true lovers of this land. As a result of this
historic resistance, the enemies of our homeland, despite all their extensive
plans and investments, failed to achieve their goals and accepted defeat.
This great and glorious achievement once again showed that
national unity and popular resistance are the strongest elements of national
authority that neutralize the conspiracies of the enemies.
While commemorating this historic success, I honor the memory
and endeavors of all those who stood up and fought and fought tirelessly and
unassumingly in these tough days.
In the meantime, the role of the great ICT family, along with
other servants of the nation, is not hidden from anyone. They were the silent
fighters who, behind the scenes, worked hard day and night to serve the people
of the country, to maintain simple calls, transfer vital data and messages, tackle
intrusions, and counter cyber and physical attacks on communication
infrastructures and other communication services.
The commitment and expertise of these dear people prevented
disruptions in providing services to the people. I sincerely thank all these
fighters.
The ICT Ministry has long been responsible for establishing
and sustaining the country's vast communication network and protecting the
extensive infrastructure related to the transfer of products from data to
messages, and from establishing calls to producing and developing services.
This commitment is permanent and sustainable. By the grace of
God, relying on the knowledge and expertise of experts and realistic planning
of managers, it will continue to be the concern of the ministry. Undoubtedly,
the path to developing the country's communications involves transparency in
performance, accountability to the people, targeted investment in technology
and intelligence, as well as training and supporting expert personnel.
Our mission is to provide a stable, secure, and fair network
for all Iranians, taking into account the realities on the ground and the
growing needs of society.
Hoping increasing victories for the dear and great
nation of Iran.”
