The Commander-in-Chief of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps issued a message of condolence to the late Fateme Falkian, known as "Nene Ismat", and stated: "By knitting gloves for the soldiers in the exhausting cold of the fronts, she not only warmed their bodies, but with her love and prayers, she breathed the spirit of resistance into the bodies of the resistance strongholds."

According to the report of Ambassador Arjan, the text of the message of Maj. Gen. Ahmad Vahidi, Commander-in-Chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, is as follows:

God is not God and God is God's refuge.

I offer my condolences to the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution (Madzala-ul-Ali), the honorable nation of Iran, his honorable family, the people of Yazd, and all the fighters of Islam in dear Iran and the resistance front, on the death of a faithful and mujahid lady, the late Fateme Falkian, known as "Nene Insmat".

"Nene Esmat" was the concrete manifestation of a revolutionary Muslim woman who responded to the call of Khomeini Kabir (ra) and Khamenei Aziz (Qudssera) and with a deep understanding of her mission in the eight-year holy defense and helping the defenders of the shrine in the anti-Zionist resistance front, turned her kind hands into a workshop for jihad and sacrifice.

By knitting gloves for the warriors in the excruciating cold of the fronts, he not only warmed their bodies, but with his love and prayer, he breathed the spirit of resistance into the bodies of the resistance strongholds. Even after the end of the war, this Yazdi lady did not stop this holy work despite her old age and illness, and her gloves became a permanent symbol of people's jihad, sacrifice and resistance.

Today, when the enemies of Islam and the revolution have targeted the Iranian family and the role of the Iranian woman with a mixed and soft war, the women of the country should continue the path of sacrifice, resistance and jihad, and give the warmth of love and faith to the society.

From the Almighty God, I pray for them to be exalted, to be close to Hazrat Zahra (PBUH), and for the survivors, patience and reward.
