Calling on the Iranian officials to seriously pursue the issue, Ayatollah Khamenei stressed that if it is proven that the students were poisoned, the perpetrators of the crime should be severely punished.

"There will be no amnesty for these people," the Leader emphasized.

Referring to the importance of planting saplings in preserving the environment, Ayatollah Khamenei called for planting forest trees in addition to fruit trees and said that the wood trade has a significant impact on the country's economy.
