At the end of this ceremony, the mayor of Tehran emphasized the necessity of public support for the armed forces, saying: "The people are present to support the leadership, the IRGC, the army, and all the guardians of the security and strength of the country, and at the same time, they must be present to help correct the direction if any official makes a miscalculation."
