Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei:
Leader hails Iranian nation for foiling enemy's soft war
Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has said efforts by the Iranian nation’s enemies to shake the people’s resolve and sow discord among them by waging soft threats against them have failed.
”The massive march of the nation on February 22nd showed that the enemy's software threats have been ineffective against this country and this nation,” Ayatollah Khamenei said in the capital Tehran on Monday.
The Leader was pointing to the nation’s monumental turnout in the marches and celebrations that marked the 45th anniversary of Iran’s historic 1979 Islamic Revolution, which overthrew the country’s former United States-backed tyrannical Pahlavi regime, PressTV reported.
“Software threats mean manipulating the public opinion; it means creating division; it means creating doubt in the fundamental principles of the Islamic Revolution; it means creating doubt about steadfastness against the enemy. They are doing this.” Ayatollah Khamenei stated.
“By God's grace [however], they have not succeeded until today; until today, the enemy’s temptations have not been able to shake the hearts of our people or deter our youths from their resolve and moving [forward],” the Leader added.
Ayatollah Khamenei again cited the case of the extensive commemoration events that took place during the anniversary of the Revolution’s victory this year,
“Where else in the world does such a thing exist? After forty-some years since the victory of the Revolution, on the anniversary of the Revolution’s victory, the entire nation, not the Armed Forces, not the officials, but the masses of the people, honor the day in such a way and enter the field with such a massive turnout, despite all the problems that exist.”
