Statement by Imam Reza International University following the martyrdom of a group of defenseless people, high-ranking military commanders, and prominent professors and scientists of the country by the Zionist regime is as follows: 

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

Among the believers there are those who have remained true to the covenant they made with Allah. Among those some of them have fulfilled their vow and others await the appointed time. They have not changed in the least.

Martyred Commander of Hearts
Haj Qasem Soleimani:
"Today, the headquarters of Hossein ibn Ali is Iran. Know that the Islamic Republic is a sanctuary." 

We offer our congratulations and condolences on martyrdom of a group of military commanders, scientists, and dear compatriots of our country following criminal attack by the Zionist regime, to His Holiness Imam Mahdi (AS), Ayatollah Khamenei, scientific and academic community of the country, and Iranian nation.
Offering condolences for the martyrdom of these dear ones, Imam Reza International University calls upon relevant authorities for severest punishment for perpetrators and facilitators of these crimes.
We expect all elites and intellectuals of the scientific and academic community, more than ever, to strive at national and international levels for a scholarly and truthful defense of values and ideals of religion and Islamic Revolution, because if we do not strive, there will be no opportunity for compensation.
As Imam Khomeini (RA) said: if you kill us, our nation will become more awakened; with these desperate assassinations, the path of knowledge and the martyred scientists of this land will continue with greater strength and power, God willing.
We ask Almighty God for elevated ranks for the exalted martyrs and wish immediate recovery for the injured.

"O Allah, hasten the reappearance of Imam Mahdi."
