In his message, Mohammad-Sadeq Azimi-Far stated:

"As the new year dawns and nature blossoms, the sacred nights of Qadr and the revelation of the Quran arrive, offering a precious opportunity for the faithful to cleanse their hearts from the tarnish of sin and wrongdoing, to purify their souls, and to embrace a fresh start.

We begin the year 1404 with the anniversary of the martyrdom of Imam Ali (AS), the Commander of the Faithful. Imam Ali (AS), the son of the Kaaba and the martyr of the mosque, is a profound truth who, like the sun, warms the boundless sea of humanity. He was a model of faith and virtue, teaching lessons of freedom, forgiveness, sacrifice, and devotion to God through his life and conduct in all aspects of history.

I extend my congratulations for the new year and the 29th of Esfand, the anniversary of the nationalization of Iran's oil industry. With the help of Almighty God and your tireless efforts, as we approach Nowruz, let us follow the path of Imam Ali (AS) in serving others, inspiring hope, and achieving a proud and prosperous Iran. Let us take significant strides and embark on a year filled with blessings and abundance."
