In a message posted on X, on Wednesday, marking the 200th night of Iranians’ presence in streets to show their determination to resist enemies, Esmail Baqaei wrote, “In the month of Esfand (late February when the US-Israeli aggression began), the light of Divine grace shone upon this nation’s destiny. The Almighty raised the people of this ancient land to safeguard Iran’s sovereignty against the demonic onslaught, binding their hearts together with the light of faith.”
He added, “Two hundred nights have passed since the dawn of this historic epic of presence, and the people of Iran stand steadfast and tireless, guarding the glory and grandeur of their homeland.”
He praised the Iranian people, describing them as “torchbearers on the path of honor and liberty amidst an era of tumult and humiliation.”
Since February 28, 2026, when the United States and the Zionist regime launched an all-out war against Iran, the Iranian people have created scenes unprecedented in contemporary history by holding nightly gatherings in streets of cities and towns across the country to show their determination to defend the country and the Islamic Republic.
