Local Editor

The Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei cautioned
that the enemy is determined to sow dissension among Muslims and that one of the methods they use to carry out such nefarious acts is to invest in fomenting discord between Shia and Sunni .

Imam Khamenei also reminded the people of Paveh and the surrounding Uramanat who are chiefly Sunni that the Shia and Sunni have a common foe, and that the Islamic Republic has succeeded in thwarting all plots against Muslims over the past 32 years.

Addressing a massive crowd of jubilant people in the Kurdish city of Paveh in Western Iran Monday morning, Ayatollah Khamenei assured that the enemy is making huge efforts to highlight minor differences and undermine our many shared values and beliefs.

The Leader noted that the enemy is not interested in Muslim solidarity. He called on Shias and Sunnis to behave in such a manner that the enemy would realize that it is incapable of sowing discord among the Muslims.

Ayatollah Khamenei emphasized that the only way of achieving success would be
for Muslims not to "retreat even one step from their [righteous] path."
During his ongoing tour of the Kermanshah Province in western Iran, Imam Khamenei reiterated that Islamic movements have been initiated in the Muslim world, noting that the Iranian nation can play a role in this important development.

The Iranian nation has proved its high capabilities over the past 32 years, so we have the potential to be looked up to as models and credible sources of support for other Muslim states, he pointed out.

Ayatollah Khamenei also stated that if Iranians complement their loyalty to Islam with prudence, then they can be looked up to as a model.
On another note, the Imam insists that despite growing military threats and political pressure, Iran will never retreat one step and will firmly resist such extortionist acts.
