Nowruz message by Iranian Ambassador in Malaysia   In the name of God, the God of life and wisdom God of spring, blossoming and hope...   Noble and educated people of MALAYSIA Dear Iranian compatriots residing in this land;   We sincerely celebrate the arrival of Nowruz; this ancient ritual that brings a message of friendship, peace and renewal. Nowruz; is a cultural manifestation that calls people to hope, empathy and regeneration; Nowruz; is a manifestation of the triumph of spring over autumn and the blossoming of victory on the tree of patience and perseverance.   This year, Nowruz coincides with Eid al-Fitr and the end of the holy month of Ramadan, and I feel it is necessary to wish my compatriots and the people of Malaysia health and success on this great day.   This year; we celebrate Nowruz in different and fateful circumstances. Today, Iran and Iranians; are once again faced with an imposed war and military and terrorist aggression by the enemies of peace and diplomacy. In the meantime, we must clearly emphasize: Iran has not initiated any war or invaded any country for centuries.   What is happening today is a legitimate and inevitable defense. A defense based on the recognized principles of international law, and in accordance with all human and moral standards, against an imposed war and aggression imposed by the United States and the Israeli regime on Iran, the region, and even world peace.   This reality, along with sadness, has also revealed a clear manifestation of a great truth. The cohesion, solidarity, and steadfast will of a nation that stands with one voice and firm in defense of its beloved homeland and Iran.   At these moments, we honor the memory of the martyred leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, His Highness Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. A man who stood up for Iran’s independence, freedom, progress, development, and authority until the end; and never surrendered to the bullying and intimidation of the aggressors; And finally, along with a group of his beloved family and the brave commanders of the armed forces, he attained the grace of martyrdom.   Also; We honor the eternal memory of the martyrs of the recent military aggression; Especially the children and women whose oppression awakens the conscience of every free human being and strengthens our resolve.   Here, I feel it necessary to express my gratitude and appreciation for the support of the Malaysian government and people for the Iranian people, who have been subjected to brutal attacks in defense of their independence and freedom.   Nowruz acquires a deeper meaning in such days; Nowruz in the midst of hardships, which means understanding the ancient secret of this soil; how we sprout from the heart of cold, and create greenery from the heart of drought.   As the representative of the Islamic Republic of Iran in MALAYSIA, I emphasize the importance of dialogue, mutual respect, and human relations between nations; and at the same time, I also insist on the right of nations to defend their independence, dignity, and homeland.   To the dear people of MALAYSIA: The Iranian nation is a nation that has always been a messenger of culture, friendship and peace throughout history; but it has stood and will stand with dignity and steadfastness in the face of aggression and injustice.   And to my dear Iranian compatriots in this land, I say: You are the manifestation of Iranian culture and identity; and today, more than ever, your role in demonstrating national cohesion, wisdom and solidarity is valuable and effective.   We are from the lineage of the spring; From the lineage of those who create light in the heart of darkness, and keep hope alive in the most difficult days, and this eternal saying is our pact with Iran:   If Iran does not exist, my body will not be on this earth and not a single body will be on the earth (Hakim Abolghasem Foroudsi)   Happy Nowruz and Eid al-Fitr
