Imam Khamenei Offers Condolences on the Passing of Dr Mohsen Ustadi

Tehran, Iran – Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei has extended his deepest sympathies and heartfelt condolences on the passing of Dr Mohsen Ustadi, a respected war veteran and a distinguished Professor of Islamic Studies at the esteemed seminary in Qum.

Dr. Ustadi, known for his valour and scholarship, passed away due to complications from illnesses linked to exposure to chemical weapons. These weapons, deployed by Saddam's regime and supplied by specific Western governments, were used during the War of aggression against Iran.

Dr Ustadi’s demise has left a profound void in both academic circles and among those who revered him for his service during a critical period in Iran's glorious history.

Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei addressed his consoling message to Dr. Ustadi's father, Ayatollah Reza Ustadi, a prominent figure himself among the leading professors of Islamic Sciences at the Islamic Seminary in Qum.
