Following is the full text of the message:
I received the news of the death of the basiji poet Mohammadreza Aghasi. This sad demise is a loss for the art and literature of the country, especially for religious poetry and the revolution.
The fluency and nice structure of Aghasi’s poetry, which showed his pure heart and feelings, has a special status in contemporary literature.
I express condolences to literary figures, poets, and his fans, and especially to his esteemed family, friends, and companions, and ask God to bless his soul.
