The spokesperson for Iran's Foreign Ministry, in a recent statement, hailed the victory of liberating the strategic city of Khorramshahr as a luminous symbol of Iranian resilience and national character.
Speaking at a regular press conference, he emphasized that May 24, the anniversary of the Khorramshahr victory, is not only a landmark in the history of the Iran-Iraq war (1980-1988) but also a lesson in unity and unyielding will in the face of all difficulties and challenges.
According to the spokesperson, recapturing Khorramshahr after nearly two years of occupation by Iraqi forces demonstrated the recovery capability and strength to overcome adversity of the Iranian military and people. This event is frequently referenced in official speeches as evidence of patriotism and courage.
The Khorramshahr victory is regarded as a critical turning point in the war, helping Iran shift from a defensive posture to a counteroffensive. The spokesperson's statement reiterated the message of internal strength and the nation's endurance amid security and political challenges.
