Condolence Message on the Occurrence of an Air Incident

In the Name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

The tragic air incident today, which claimed the lives of many of our dear compatriots, is a very bitter and regrettable event that has wounded hearts and brought tears to eyes. With great sorrow and grief, I extend my condolences to His Holiness the Imam of the Age (may our souls be sacrificed for him) and to the survivors and friends of the victims of the incident. I ask Almighty God for their patience and solace and for forgiveness and mercy for the deceased.
