The forces released their message in the form of an official statement, with the use of Arabic serving as a deliberate choice to directly address the people of Iraq.

• Missile forces of the Guards thanked the Iraqi people for their presence at the funeral ceremony.
• The statement of gratitude was released in Arabic to communicate directly with Iraqi audiences.
• The funeral ceremony was named by media outlets as a historic event.
• The funeral ceremony was described by media as a grand event with widespread attendance.
