Imam Khamenei Warns of Plot to Consign Revolution Symbols to Oblivion

By Staff, Agencies

Leader of the Islamic Revolution His Eminence Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei warned about a hostile and sinister plot to consign the symbols of the Islamic Revolution to oblivion.

In a Thursday meeting with members of a committee tasked with holding a congress to commemorate martyrs of the southern province of Hormozgan, Imam Khamenei said virtues like courage and defending the righteousness have been institutionalized in the province.

“Commemorating martyrs is a necessary job and a duty of all of us, because a villainous policy and move is underway with the purpose of consigning the symbols of the Revolution, particularly jihad and martyrdom, to oblivion, and such a policy must be countered,” Imam Khamenei stressed.

Martyrs, regardless of their age or education, are symbols of devotion and preparedness to sacrifice their lives for defending the truth, His Eminence added, calling for efforts to familiarize the youth with such precious symbols and role models.

Back in December last year, Imam Khamenei cautioned about the enemy’s plots to damage spiritual values in Iran, saying, “The enemies’ onslaught at the spiritual level is much more dangerous and troubling than the ones at the level of ordinary issues, hard attacks and the like.”

Imam Khamenei underscored, though, that the hostile attempts to damage the spiritual values will end in failure in the same way that the “tough war and hard pressures” against Iran resulted in failure.
