I want to tell you a story about one of our shuhada. Incredible man. When he was a commander, one of the commanders of the IRGC, and this man, by the way, when he went to meet Allah, he's only twenty-five years old. ... Now, this young man was from Mashhad, and he, before the revolution, used to attend the lectures of the leader. ... following the leader. What the leader says about this man, his name is Shahid Mahmoud Kaveh. ... Twenty-five years old. Commander. ... someone who is a commander of the Basij leads with his own actions.

Iran has done such a thorough job, and they did it so ethically and methodically, destroying the Mossad building and the military-scientific building with pinpoint accuracy.

The martyr dies and his reign begins... perhaps it's one of the hidden mercies and hidden blessings of Allah, Exalted and Glorified is He, that the timing of this martyrdom of Shaheed Raisi and his companions... everybody's attention is again directed towards, um, towards the axis of resistance, towards the Islamic Republic.

A more recent example, because July 12th was the anniversary of the 33-day war, and I remember the interview that Shahid Qasim Suleimani gave before he became Shaheed. It was a very long interview that he gave. He explains a little bit about how that war was a result of taqwa. The Hizb, they had a promise to keep. They were supposed to free the prisoners, and there's no way—how are you going to deal with Israel? They said, "Okay, we'll take care of that. What we're going to do is do a daring raid, capture an enemy Hummer, take them out alive, and we'll trade them for our people." And they went over and they did this operation—daring, alhamdulillah: go in, strike, come out, drag the Israelis out.
