Imam Ali Khamenei: Iran Stands Tall in the Face of Threats
Ahead of the anniversary ceremonies of the victory of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, current leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei stressed that the enemies of the country as well as the imperialistic and Zionist organizations are not capable to understand this reason and that is why they continue to threaten the nation.
Sayyed Khamenei stressed that the threats against Iran emanate from the enemy's inability to comprehend the divine roots of the Islamic Republic. "Today, there exists no system like the Islamic establishment in the world that can stand unshakably in the face of heavy, hostile propaganda, political and economic pressures and sanctions," Khamenei added.
Iran commemorates the 31st anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution February 11. The Islamic State was established when a colossal republic revolution overthrew the Shah's regime which was loyal to US and had strong ties with "Israel". The revolution reshaped the political identity of the country, and paved the way for the creation of a strong Islamic State that would tip the balance of power in the region back in favor of regional powers instead of international manipulation.
Ayatollah Khamenei indicated the secret of the Islamic Revolution's long-lasting stability is the people's "reliance on God."
"That is why whenever the people fear for the Revolution and sense threats and animosity, huge crowds of people, spontaneously and without convocation, take to the streets across the country," His Emience said. "And that is what happened on December 30."
Millions of people rallied on December 30 in response to the desecration of Ashura ceremonies which were marred with anti-government unrests on December 27.
Iran laid blame about the post-election riots on the West, particularly Britain, the United States and "Israel", and their agents inside the country.
In early January, Ayatollah Khamenei hailed the December 30 rally and said "tens of millions of people rallied to defuse an intricate plot by the enemy."
On Monday, the Leader said the grandeur of the rally was so impressive that the West could not hide its significance and had to acknowledge its occurrence.
"The magnitude and the presence of millions of the people on the streets on December 30 derived from God's will and power," Ayatollah Khamenei said. "Since the Islamic establishment is a divine movement, God defends it in such ways."
Since Iran's enemies cannot realize that they should not confront God's will, the Leader said, they seek to employ "schemes such as human rights and democracy" to weaken Tehran. "However, the world's public opinion disdains such tactics."
"Those who cry for human rights are the ones who violate very basic human rights and approve torture in their prisons."
"These democracy contenders are those who befriend and ally with the worst tyrannical and reactionary governments in the world, including in the Middle East and North Africa."
When the people of the world compare their slogans with their actions, His Eminence expounded, they realize that these claims are conflicting.
Khamenei added that world powers accuse Iran of not promoting democracy while 85 percent of the eligible voters went to the polls in the country's June 12 presidential election.
The Islamic establishment's lasting stability amid such global propaganda, the Leader said, proves that those inside the country who stood against the people's will in the election are either puppets of the enemy or ignorant and they have nothing to do with the majority of the people.
Ayatollah Khamenei called on the people to participate in the rally on Feb. 11 and demonstrate unity to astonish the United States, United Kingdom and "Israel".
