President Pezeshkian: People's presence at Leader's funeral more eloquent than words

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated that the farewell ceremony for the martyred Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, was more eloquent than any words. He made the remarks late on Sunday, offering his deep condolences on the martyrdom of Ayatollah Khamenei, his family members, and other Iranians who lost their lives in the recent war for the honor and pride of Iran and Islam.

Pezeshkian emphasized that nothing is more eloquent than behavior. "People may say a lot. If I want to say something, ultimately only a few Persian speakers will understand it, but the behavior and presence of the people are understood by the whole world," he said. He added, "This greatness, these tears that flow from the eyes of girls, men, and children, arise from the pain and sorrow that surges inside a person, and the world sees this truth. More telling than all the words and conversations is the behavior of our beloved people at the funeral of our beloved Leader."

The president went on to say that the farewell is not actually a farewell but a promise to continue on the path of the martyred Leader. "When we say farewell, I do not accept this interpretation; this is not actually farewell, but a promise to continue on the path (of the martyred Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei)," he stated.

According to Mehr News Agency, President Pezeshkian's remarks came during a ceremony at the Imam Khomeini Mosalla in Tehran, where millions of mourners gathered to pay their last respects to the late Leader. The funeral procession drew massive crowds, reflecting the deep bond between the Leader and the Iranian people.
