Nournews: Years of hardship, the darkness of prison camps, and the chains of captivity could not extinguish the flame of faith and hope in the hearts of Iran’s steadfast prisoners. With prayer and remembrance, and with eyes fixed on the future of their homeland, they showed that the human spirit remains free even when the body is shackled. Their return to the soil of the homeland was not the end of suffering but a rebirth for the nation—a rebirth that turned the experience of patience and endurance into a great asset for Iran’s future.
The 12-Day War: Fire of deterrence and national pride
In June 2025, when the Zionist regime sought to disrupt Iran’s security balance through the clamor of weapons and blatant aggression, Iran’s swift and crushing response proved that resistance is not merely a memory of the past, but a living sword in the hands of the nation. The 12-day war was a scene where courage and wisdom reshaped the equations of power and taught the enemy that no army can break the will of a nation fortified by its history and its faith.
The bond between the freed prisoners and today’s resistance: A spirit that never dies
The freed prisoners of yesterday, in the Ba’athist camps, learned the eternal lesson of endurance, and today, the 12-day war has cemented that lesson on the battlefield. The “camp of yesterday” and the “battlefield of today” are two faces of a single great truth: however much pressure is imposed upon a nation, as long as its spirit remains free, it is invincible. The freed prisoners stand as a living symbol showing that resistance is a heritage time cannot erode.
A legacy for tomorrow: Resistance as a national anthem
The message of the freed prisoners and the 12-day war is clear: resistance is not a relic of the past but a living force that keeps the Iranian nation steadfast in the face of any threat. The freed captives of yesterday defeated the enemy with patience and faith, and today, that same spirit guarantees Iran’s national security. August 17 is a day to remember this national anthem—a day that teaches future generations that dignity and security can only be achieved through perseverance, unity, and resistance.
