Legacy of martyred Khamenei's foreign policy vision
TEHRAN - At pivotal moments in history, nations are often defined by leaders who shape their country's future.

In this framework, diplomacy was viewed not merely as a tool for managing relations with other countries but as a means of safeguarding the honor and interests of the Iranian people.
