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

Yes, I have a surgery and I am currently heading to the hospital. Of course, there is no cause for concern; this does not mean that prayers should not be offered, but God willing, there is no cause for worry and the surgery is very ordinary.

Reporter: If there is anything else, please let us know.

No, the point is that God willing, the Almighty God will bestow His grace and things will go well.

1) His Excellency underwent surgery this morning in one of the public hospitals in Tehran due to a prostate condition.
