TEHRAN The Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei thanked the people of Isfahan and Najafabad for rallying in support of Islamic ideals and Revolution on Friday. A communique issued by the Office of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution here Friday stated, Hail to the valiant people of Isfahan anf Najafabad, specifically the distinguished and revolutionary Muslim clerics who took to the street to steam out their fury against the plotters.

On Friday May 14, Ayatollah Khamenei called on people of Isfahan to stand up to the attempts by a group of deceived people to disrupt congregational Friday prayers. It further added that the pious objective of Isfahani people neutralized the diabolic conspiracies of both the domestic lackeys and foreigners plotted to sow the seeds of dissension and unrest in the area.

The lackeys derived their infatuations to stir up the masses from the overseas radios and mass media who happen to be the sworn enemies of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the statement added. Several satanic forces such as the U.S. arrogant power and its Zionist elements plus the terrorist Mujaheedin Khalq Organization (MKO) and other lackeys joined hands to stir up unrest in the country under a misconceived assumption that the Iranian nation have taken an about turn from the lofty Islamic ideals and revolutionary values set up by the Founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran the late Imam Khomeini. The lackeys aim to reinstate the domination of foreign elements in Iran forgetting this fact that the people, the champions of pioneers of Islamic Revolutio, are on the scene to foil any possible stratagem and political ploys, it read.

We shall not allow such a satanic dream materialize in the land of Islamic Revolution, the communique concluded. (IRNA)
