IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency
Tehran, Feb 17,IRNA -- Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Wednesday that the massive turnout of Iranian people in the February 11 rallies was a crushing response to the opponents of the Islamic Revolution
The Supreme Leader made the remarks in a meeting with a large group of enthusiastic people from Azarbaijan province on Wednesday.
On 22nd of Bahman (Feb 11), the Iranian people powerfully demonstrated their vigilance, farsightedness, and perseverance in treading the path of God, said Ayatollah Khamenei.
The Supreme Leader also highlighted the significant role of Azarbaijani people in the triumph of the Islamic Revolution in 1979.
The legitimacy of the Islamic Revolution was evident in the massive participation of people in the Bahman 22 rallies which dealt a severe blow on the enemies and this year's rallies was more remarkable than the past.
The enemies of the Islamic Republic tried to imply that the Islamic Revolution has deviated from its right track but to no avail, underlined the Supreme Leader.
“If the Islamic Revolution had deviated from its right path, it would have been impossible to witness demonstrations by such a huge number of sympathizers of the Islamic Revolution on its victory anniversary,” said Ayatollah Khamenei.
The Islamic Revolution is set to proceed on its right path and in case some people wish to stand against it, there is no doubt that they will be the losers, said the Supreme Leader.
The enemies of the Islamic Revolution had planned to stage a civil war on Bahman 22 but the massive turnout of the Iranian nation dealt a crushing blow on them, said Ayatollah Khamenei.
Some western leaders including the US president have always claimed to be supporters of the Iranian people but people’s turnout in Bahman 22 rallies brought them disgrace and shame, pointed out the Supreme Leader.
They assumed that the Iranian people have turned away from the Islamic Revolution and its founder but the reality observed on Bahman 22 rallies stunned them all, said Ayatollah Khamenei.
Some arrogant powers who do not believe in their own nation try to indicate that the international community is opposed to the Islamic Revolution but the fact is that world nations are not satisfied with their policies and bear no grudge against the Islamic Revolution of Iran, said the Supreme Leader.
It is quite natural that for such arrogant powers to be at odds with the Islamic Revolution which is a vanguard in administering justice around the globe, pointed out the Supreme Leader.
The Islamic Republic of Iran under no circumstances will give up and nor will it be intimidated by threats, said the Supreme Leader, adding that “We never let certain countries play with the fate of world nations.”
Since the Iranian nation is determined is to go ahead on its rigth track, they have resorted to various pretexts such as the country’s peaceful nuclear activities, human rights and democracy to attain their sinister goals, said Ayatollah Khameni.
Once again the US has dispatched its envoy to the Persian Gulf region to repeat its lies (about Iran) but this time no one will believes them as everybody knows that the US never cares about the interests of other nations and seizes any opportunity to trample upon their legitimate rights, Ayatollah Khamenei said.
The US is a real warmonger, said the Supreme Leader, adding that they have turned the Persian Gulf region into a depot to stockpile their arsenals, targeted Iraq and Afghanistan, and engaged in spreading slanders against the Islamic Republic of Iran.
All nations in the region and many of their governments know that the Islamic Republic of Iran is the real advocate of peace, brotherhood and dignity of regional countries, underlined the Supreme Leader.
The Islamic Republic of Iran once againt emerged victorious in its fight with global arrogance, said the Supreme Leader.
“Due to negligence and miscalculations of certain people we witnessed some disturbances after the country’s presidential election during which the enemies did their best to take advantage of the situation to weaken the Islamic Revolution but all their attemts backfired,” said the Supreme Leader.
The Iranian people indicated that they are ready to vigilantly defend the Islamic Revolution, said Ayatollah Khamenei.
The Supreme Leader also advised people to strengthen their unity and help the government reconstruct the country, said the Supreme Leader.
