He emphasized the oil industry’s readiness to fully support national security and the ideals of the Iranian people.

The text of Paknejad’s message is as follows:

"In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

‘Surely we belong to God, and to Him we shall return.’

‘Martyrdom in the path of Islam is an honor for all of us.’ — Imam Khomeini (peace be upon him).

Noble and proud people of Iran,

With a heart full of sorrow, I extend my congratulations and condolences for the martyrdom of brave military commanders, distinguished scientists, and a number of our defenseless women and children at the hands of the criminal, child-killing Zionist regime to the Imam of the Age (may our souls be sacrificed for him), the wise leader of the revolution, and the martyr-nurturing, resilient nation of Islamic Iran.

This blatant crime is not only a clear violation of international norms and humanitarian principles but also exposes another facet of the anti-human and anti-Islamic nature of a regime built upon oppression, aggression, terrorism, and the killing of children.

Undoubtedly, the pure blood of these noble martyrs will not be in vain and will, as always, breathe new life into the steadfast resistance against arrogance and Zionism. The great people of Iran, who have always stood firm against oppression and aggression, will once again thwart the enemies of Islam and humanity through vigilance, unity, and deep faith.

At this critical juncture, the oil industry and its devoted workers—relying on Almighty God and following the wise directives of the Supreme Leader of the Revolution—stand ready alongside other sectors of the country with a spirit of jihad and sacrifice to serve and fully support the security and lofty ideals of the Iranian nation.

I pray to Almighty God to elevate the ranks of the martyrs and grant them companionship with the righteous, and to bestow patience and reward upon their families."
