WANA (Jan 05) – In a ceremony commemorating the fifth anniversary of General Soleimani’s assassination, Seyed Abbas Araghchi, the Iranian Foreign Minister, stated: “The resistance movement is not something that can be destroyed because it is a school of thought and an ideology.”

 

He added, “The resistance movement is not dependent on any individual or person and cannot be eradicated through bullets and bombings.”

 

Araghchi emphasized, “The main weapon of the resistance school is the blood of martyrs.”

 

He continued, “The resistance relies on its social base, and when a leader sacrifices his blood, it nourishes and strengthens this movement.”

 

The Iranian Foreign Minister stressed, “The enemies believe that if they inflict damage on the resistance axis, it will be a victory for them. They must understand that this is the beginning of their defeat.”

 

Araghchi further stated, “The key to our victory is patience and resistance. The forward movement of the resistance will continue, and it will grow stronger with each passing day.”

 

The Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic of Iran emphasized: “The diplomacy of resistance is a part of the resistance school. Alongside the battlefield, diplomacy moves forward, and in fact, these two complement each other with no separation between them.”

 

Araghchi, stressing that “diplomacy and the battlefield complement each other,” further explained: “The battlefield paves the way for diplomacy, and diplomacy turns the achievements of the battlefield into national prestige and honor.”

 

Araghchi pointed out: “What has transpired over the past few months in the region, for the resistance and Iran, is a renewed manifestation of the complete coordination between the battlefield and diplomacy. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has always been present in the field, and in Yemen, Iraq, and Bosnia, it has sacrificed many martyrs.”

 

In his speech, he also emphasized: “Martyr Soleimani turned the resistance school into the axis of resistance.”
