Hojjatoleslam Seyyed Ali Tabatabai-Nejad stated in an interview with Mehr News Agency: Tonight, on the 201st night of people's presence, more than anything, we miss our martyred leader and that beautiful, spiritual, and calming face; a godlike and celestial human who gave us dignity and taught us to have zeal for our land, religion, and homeland.
Continuous presence of the people in the field
He added: The martyred leader was someone who taught us to be strong and stand firm. Tonight we have come to say that we have been present in the field for 201 nights to seek justice for him, and this presence continues.

The representative of the Supreme Leader in the Martyrs Foundation of Tehran Province noted: Dear Sir, forgive us for not being good guardians of your life; you sacrificed your life, and the people have shown through their presence in the field that they have not forgotten this path.
Enemy's efforts to create discord
Tabatabai-Nejad emphasized: The people, through their continuous presence in these gatherings, have stood by their promises and commitments, and this presence is a manifestation of their perseverance and resilience. We ask God and Imam Reza (AS) to keep the people steadfast on this path.
He stated: The enemy today is facing many challenges and heavy costs in various arenas, and the more it insists on its pressure and actions, the less escape routes remain for it. Many of the options it had have been tested, and it is still looking for new ways.
The representative of the Supreme Leader in the Martyrs Foundation of the counties of Tehran Province continued: In the economic sphere, heavy costs have also been imposed on America. According to reports, the cost of the war with Iran has reached about $38 billion by August 1, 2026, and it is predicted that if the war continues, an additional $2 to $3 billion will be incurred monthly.
Tabatabai-Nejad reminded: The enemy thought it could achieve its goals through sanctions, siege, or negotiations, but these methods have not yielded the expected results. Today, one of the ways the enemy is hoping for is to create internal discord and chaos.
He emphasized: The enemy is waiting for a spark to intensify internal conflicts; therefore, we must remain vigilant and prevent discord and chaos. The presence of the people in the fields is also one of the factors that prevents the enemy from achieving its goals in this regard.
The representative of the Supreme Leader in the Martyrs Foundation of the counties of Tehran Province said: The presence of the people in these gatherings is valuable every second, and we hope that God, through the blessing of this presence, will assist the people and record the reward of this perseverance and steadfastness for them.
Tabatabai-Nejad also referred to regional developments and reminded: Today, those who have relied on America and England for years find themselves in a situation where they have to turn to the same powers that promised to support them for their security.
He stated: In contrast, the people of Yemen have shown their resilience despite all pressures, and this situation indicates that reliance on foreign powers cannot create sustainable security for countries. The main path is reliance on God and the strength of nations.
