IRNA � President Hassan Rouhani on Thursday hailed the lofty status of martyrs and their devotions and said the liberation of Khorramshahr form Baathi regime convinced the world of Iran's invincibility.

Addressing a ceremony honoring sacrifices of the martyrs, especially those who had fallen for liberation of Khorramshahr, he added that if it were not for the devotions of the martyrs, �it would not be clear in what situation we were now.�

Rouhani reiterated that the Iranian nation as well as other Islamic nations and leaders sometimes find themselves in a sensitive situation which requires them to make a decisive decision.

Recalling the emergence of terrorists and crimes committed by them, the chief executive reiterated self-sacrifices of the martyrs, saying that if it were not for their defense and resistance, �It would not be clear in what situation we were now.�

Contending that dignity and honor of a nation is higher than anything else, Rouhani said that if a nation boasts of wealth but appears weak before a superpower, it will get nowhere.

Recalling US President Donald Trump�s statements in which he impudently described the Saudi Arabian people as dairy cattle which should be milked, he said that wealth and life are valuable for a nation but its dignity and status are more important.

�Today, the Iranian nation is regarded as a graceful and great nation across the world, as it is withstanding the enemy by itself through reliance on God and seeking help from Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) and His Infallible Household.
