According to the international group Tasnim news agency, the martyrdom of Seyyed Ibrahim passed away. Raisi, the President and his accompanying delegation created special conditions in the diplomatic and political scene of the country, but in the international arena, this incident is considered an important development. This incident was so important that 68 heads and high-ranking officials of countries and regional organizations went to Tehran to pay their respects to the late president of Iran to convey the message of friendship and brotherhood to the acting president of Iran.

Except for the names of presidents, prime ministers, heads of parliaments, foreign ministers and other ministers who paid tribute to martyrs in the Islamic Republic on the second day of June 1403, this ceremony contains international political messages. It was broadcasted live to the world.

The simultaneity of the ceremony with the magnificent burial ceremony of the service martyrs by the people of Iran was the best display of public diplomacy about the relationship between the state and the nation, and this is while less than 20 Last month, the American media and the Zionist regime sought an antagonistic image of the relationship between the government and the people in Iran by exaggerating the unrest.   

The second point about last Thursday’s ceremony in Tehran’s summit hall was the colorful presence of political officials from Iran’s neighboring countries, which resulted The effort of the late president and foreign minister of our country was to implement the neighborhood policy in the 13th government. Instead of putting all its eggs in the basket of western countries, the 13th government preferred to prioritize the relationship with the neighboring countries and the region, and this strategy had a great help in passing the sanctions and improving Iran’s economic relations with its surrounding environment.

The peak of this policy was in the successful negotiations to restore relations with Saudi Arabia, which was a manifestation of the success of the high-ranking officials of the Persian Gulf countries in the tribute ceremony to the martyred president. The highest delegation of the Arab countries of the Persian Gulf was from Qatar, during which Sheikh Tamim, the Emir of this country, along with Mohammad Bin Abdurrahman, the Prime Minister, came to Tehran to pay their respects to Raisi.

Regarding the strong presence of the southern neighbors in the farewell ceremonies for the martyrs of service, we can speak from two perspectives; First, to emphasize the common religious culture between the countries on the two sides of the Persian Gulf, which consider paying respects in mourning as a religious and human duty. Secondly, this presence was a clear message about the success of the neighborhood policy in the late Raisi’s government, which was diligently followed and showed that Tehran wants to continue the current path in the next government.

Another point of the ceremony The presence of the countries of the Global South as well as the leaders of non-governmental groups in this ceremony was interesting in its own way and shows the distinctive position of the Islamic Republic of Iran as a loud and expressive voice of support for the resistance. Even in the meantime, the leaders and officials of some parties who have serious political differences with each other, regardless of this matter, went to Tehran to condole this loss.

The martyrdom of the president and his companions, although it was a heavy loss for the nation of Iran and the institution of the government in the Islamic Republic, but it was a setback for those who for years, citing the positions of Western countries, claimed that the Islamic Republic of Iran was isolated. has been The magnificent funeral ceremony in Tabriz, Tehran and Mashhad and the tributes of 68 countries to the deceased showed the unique position of the Islamic Republic of Iran in the scene of regional and international equations.
