IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency
Tehran, Nov 12, IRNA -- Military advisor to Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei said here on Friday that Iran attained glory in the wake of the campaign of the Iranian nation during the Sacred Defense Era (1980-88).
Addressing a ceremony to commemorate the unknown martyrs of Shemiranant in Shahid Mahallati Township, General Safavi added that everybody is indebted to martyrs.
'Undoubtedly, the wise stances of the Supreme Leader and well-preparedness of the armed forces prevented the US to think about attacking Iran,' he said.
Safavi further contended that the formation of resistance movement in Lebanon was inspired by Iran's eight-year resistance. 'It has now been turned to a strong body which trounced the Zionist regime during 33-day war,' he added.
Hamas forces also defeated the Israeli army in a 22-day war, he said.
