Ayatollah Sayyid Mojtaba Khamenei’s Nowruz Message
Ayatollah Sayyid Mojtaba Khamenei’s Nowruz Message
The following is the full text of the message issued by Ayatollah Sayyid Mojtaba Khamenei, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, on the occasion of Nowruz, the start of the Iranian New Year and Eid al-Fitr, March 20, 2026.

In the Name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful

O Transformer of hearts and sights,
O Director of nights and days,
O Transformer of situations and circumstances,
Transform our circumstances to the best of circumstances!



This year, the spring of spirit­uality an­­d the spring of nature – i.e., the auspicious Eid-al-Fitr and the age-old Eid of Nowruz – have coincided, and I congratulate each and every one of the people of the nation on these two religious and national holidays. I also congratulate all Muslims of the world on the occasion of Eid-al-Fitr. It is also necessary to congratulate everyone regarding the remarkable victories of Islam’s fighters and to express my condolences and sympathy to all the families and survivors of the honorable martyrs of the second imposed war, the January Coup, the third imposed war, the security and border martyrs, and the anonymous martyred soldiers [martyrs of intelligence forces].

Below I present my remarks on the occasion of the upcoming 1405 year.

First, I will give a brief overview of some of the important events of the past year. In the past year, our dear people have experienced three military and security wars. The first war was the June war, when the Zionist enemy, with the special help of the United States and in the midst of negotiations, martyred some of the country's best commanders and prominent scientists and subsequently about 1,000 of our fellow citizens. Because of a gross miscalculation, the enemy thought that after a day or two, it would be the people who would overthrow the Islamic system. But with the vigilance of you, the people, the unparalleled bravery of Islam’s fighters, and the many sacrifices, the indications of desperation and destitution soon appeared in it [the Zionist enemy], to the point that it saved itself from the edge of the abyss through mediation and resorting to cessation of fighting.

The second war was the January Coup, when the United States and the Zionist regime, thinking that the Iranian people were implementing the enemy’s vision due to the economic problems imposed by them, used their mercenaries to create countless disasters and martyred more of our dear fellow citizens than in the in the previous war and caused a lot of damage.

The third war is the war that we are now in the middle of, and on the first day of which, with tearful eyes and sad and broken hearts, we bode farewell to the kind father of the Ummah, our great Leader – may God make his respected position exalted – while hastening with great enthusiasm at the head of a caravan of martyrs on a celestial journey to a place that had been considered for him in the shadow of God's mercy and in proximity to purified lights and among the righteous and martyrs. Also, from that day onwards, we gradually and sorrowfully bode farewell to the other martyrs of this war, including the children of the Shajareh Tayyebeh School in Minab, the brave and oppressed stars of the Destroyer Dena, the martyred commanders and fighters of the IRGC, the army, the security and police forces, and the Popular Mobilization Force (the Basij), the anonymous soldiers [martyrs of intelligence forces], the brave border guards, and the rest of the nation, young and old, who passed in front of us in a caravan of light. This war took place after the enemy was disappointed with a significant popular movement in its favor, and with the illusion that if it martyred the head of the system and a number of influential military figures, it would create fear and despair in you, our dear people, and cause you to leave the arena, and in
