IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency
Tehran, July 23, IRNA -- The Iranian natioin would push back any political and military power forcing them to withdraw, Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Saturday.
The Supreme Leader made the remarks in the southern port city of Bandar Abbas in Hormuzgan province where he arrived earlier Saturday morning to visit facilities of Army’s naval force.
Addressing commanders of the Navy, Ayatollah Khamenei referred to the presence of hegemonic powers in the most sensitive region of the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman saying, “Situation is now different from the past.
“The long and vast seashore of the region is now under the control of an independent and glorious nation which is aware of its power and national intention and relying on God will force back any political and military power.”
Ayatollah Khamenei added that the region of the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman has presently become a “free and independent region thanks to the powerful presence of Iranian forces.”
The Ayatollah stressed that the “time is over when arrogant powers used to determine the destiny of other nations through military presence.”
The Supreme Leader stressed that Iranians have not, so far, encouraged and would not do so in the future any nation to fight or enter any confrontation.
“We will prevent any accidental or intentional confrontation as far as it is possible,” said the Ayatollah.
