On US regime’s interventions in Iran’s recent riots
With condolences over the martyrdom of a group of compatriots in the shrine of Ahmad bin Musa (AS) and the martyrs for the country’s security, and supplicating prayers before God for the elevation of those martyrs, patience, and reward for their grieving survivors, and the full and speedy recovery of the injured and those affected by the terrorist incident in the holy shrine, and along with a pledge of heartfelt allegiance to those martyrs and to God Almighty to pursue comprehensive, accurate and rigorous information until the discovery and punishment of the entire perpetrators of this barbaric crime and their supporters at any time and in any place, we hereby bring to the attention of the noble Iranian nation that information and explanations were provided with regard to some aspects of the recent riots in an explanatory statement on September 30.
