In the name of Allah, the most gracious, the most merciful

With pride and reverence, we recall today the 100th anniversary of establishing our valiant Iraqi army, which has written the most wonderful heroic epics for its country and its people.

On this anniversary, I greet this army, which I fought with, and experienced its suffering and sacrifices in the battles of honor and dignity against ISIS with all the heroic fighters, together we liberated land and humankind, we united the homeland and regained sovereignty.

Greetings to the patriotism and heroism of this army, a mercy on its martyrs, and I am proud to kiss the foreheads of its wounded.

Brave army: Iraq is going through its most dangerous challenges today. Its unity, security, and sovereignty are under existential danger, and the army as a regular national force is required to protect the state and defend its existence, dignity and power.

I call you -the Iraqi army, as I have promised you- to remain a wall for the homeland and not a wall for a sect, party or ruler, you are the guardian of the legitimacy of the state, the protector of law and sovereignty walls, the strength of the state is with your unity, your patriotism, your adherence to the people's hopes and the goals of the state so that we win this challenge as we won before.
