Leader urges nation to ‘frustrate enemy’ with massive rallies on Islamic Revolution anniversary
Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has called on the Iranian nation to demonstrate its will and steadfastness on the anniversary of the Islamic Revolution, saying such unity would frustrate the country’s enemy.
In a televised message issued ahead of the February ۱۱ rallies marking the ۴۷th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Khamenei described the day as a manifestation of the Iranian nation’s power and dignity.
“Bahman ۲۲nd (February ۱۱) every year is the day of unveiling the power and dignity of the Iranian nation,” the Leader said, describing the nation as motivated, resolute, steadfast, appreciative, and aware of its own situation.
He said the Iranian people achieved a “great victory” on February ۱۱, ۱۹۷۹, by freeing themselves and their country from “foreign interference,” adding that foreign powers have sought ever since to restore the previous circumstances.
“The Iranian nation is standing firm,” Ayatollah Khamenei asserted. “The symbol of this steadfastness is Bahman ۲۲nd.”
He called the annual rallies “unparalleled” in the world, saying there is no other example of a nation marking its independence every year with such massive nationwide participation.
The demonstrations “force those who covet Iran and its interests to retreat,” Ayatollah Khamenei said.
“National power is related more to the will of nations and their steadfastness than to missiles and aircraft,” he said, urging the people to continue showing their resolve in various arenas.
“Disappoint the enemy,” the Leader stated, arguing that a nation remains exposed to harm as long as its enemies are not disappointed.
He said unity, strong will, motivation, and resistance to the enemy’s temptations are the pillars of national power.
Ayatollah Khamenei also expressed hope that Iran’s youth would advance in science, action, piety, ethics, and material and spiritual progress, creating pride for the country.
He said February 11 reflects all these qualities, as people take to the streets to express unity, loyalty to the Islamic Republic, and commitment to the nation.
He voiced hope that this year’s rallies would further amplify the Iranian nation’s grandeur, as in previous years.
