I congratulate the Journalist's Day on August 7 from the bottom of my heart to the dear journalists of our country, beloved Iran, to those who are filled with love for the people of Iran, the holy system of the Islamic Republic of Iran, this ancient land's water, soil, culture, history and civilization, and those whose hearts beat with the love and they made the essence of this love flow into their writings, speeches and narratives...

The loved ones who sacrificed their lives in the most difficult working conditions and dangerous environments and fields to deliver a real frame of bitter and sweet events to the ears and opinions of enthusiastic audiences...

Those who sacrifice their lives away from their families and in the middle of the battlefield, either in the eight-year war imposed against the Islamic Republic of Iran or at the time when terrorist groups emerged in Syria, Iraq and Lebanon, to make people aware of the extent of the tragedies and crimes of Ba'athist and Daesh mercenaries and their hypocritical supporters and, on the other hand, they depicted golden and proud pages of sacrifice, bravery and martyrdom of the children of this land and describe them in writing...

To those who have good nature and whose adherence to national interests and their fervor and honor did not allow them to write and say anything to satisfy the vengeful enemies.

I salute the heavenly souls of 244 martyred journalists of eight years of the Sacred Defense and 165 martyred journalists of the Zionist regime's invasion of the bloody Gaza Strip.

I also honor the memory of martyred journalist Mahmoud Saremi and eight diplomats of the Islamic Republic of Iran who were martyred in the tragedy of the Islamic Republic of Iran's Consulate General in Mazar-i-Sharif and pay tribute to their souls.

May the peace and blessings of God and the divine angels be upon the souls of the righteous martyrs.
