According to Mehr reporter, on Wednesday afternoon, Manouchehr Habibi, at the ceremony of Iran's martyrs in Qasr Shirin, considered the continuous presence of people in the streets and squares and their standing against threats as a sign of solidarity and adherence to the ideals of the Islamic Revolution.

By honoring the memory of the martyred leader, he mentioned his sacrifice and standing in the path of Islam and Wilayat and added: People and forces loyal to the ideals of the revolution have not retreated from their positions even in difficult circumstances and they emphasize on preserving the honor and independence of the country.

Referring to the presence of the president at the United Nations, Kermanshah governor described this event as an opportunity to present the positions of the Islamic Republic of Iran in the international arena and express criticism of the actions of the United States and the Zionist regime.

Emphasizing the position of Iran in regional developments, Habibi stated: The Islamic Republic of Iran has effective political, geographical and defense capacities, and it is not possible to examine regional equations without considering the role of this country.

He also pointed to the history of the sacrifice of the people of Kermanshah during the sacred defense period and said: the people of this province offered 10 thousand martyrs in eight years of imposed war and played a role in defending the territorial integrity of the country. According to him, this spirit continues even in the face of current threats and pressures.

Referring to the strategic location of the Strait of Hormuz, he also said: This waterway is important in the world's energy and shipping security, and developments related to it can affect regional and international equations.

Emphasizing the necessity of preventing the escalation of tensions, Habibi stated: Any hostile action against the Islamic Republic of Iran will be met with a proportionate response, and decisions about the security of the region must be made taking into account the interests and rights of the countries in the region.

He considered national security as one of the basic principles of the country and added: Security must be established for all countries in the region and no country can guarantee its own security by endangering the security of others. According to him, protection of stability, security and national interests against threats is one of the priorities of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

The governor of Kermanshah also pointed to the place of diplomacy in the country's foreign policy and clarified: political dialogues should be based on mutual respect, recognition of Iran's position and respect for the nation's rights, and diplomacy should be placed along the national authority and defense power of the country.

In the following, Habibi considered the legal and political pursuit of the attacks and the demand for accountability of their perpetrators and commanders to be among the demands of the Iranian nation, and referring to the deaths of children and students, he mentioned the 168 children of Minab Primary School and seven students of Kermanshahi and emphasized the need to clarify the dimensions of these incidents and pursue justice.

He also mentioned Hossein Mohammadi, a 22-year-old veteran of Kermanshahi, and considered the sacrifice of the youth of this land as a sign of their commitment to the defense of the country.

He added: In his opinion, people's solidarity with the authorities, cooperation with the government, cooperation of the three forces and support of the armed forces are effective factors in countering the plots of the enemies, and disagreements should not lead to divisions in the society.

Referring to the role played by the people of Qasr-Shirin and other regions of the province in the defense of the country, Habibi considered their presence and companionship as a symbol of loyalty to Iran and emphasis on independence and territorial integrity, and expressed hope that by relying on faith, unity and national solidarity, the goals and ideals emphasized by the people will be realized.
