Leader: No World Power Can Overpower Iranian Nation
In a meeting with thousands of personnel of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), the Leader said that the IRGC, the Basij (volunteer forces) and the army of the Islamic Revolution successfully took steps towards moral sublimity during the ordeal of the eight-year imposed war.
Elaborating on the concept of safeguarding the Islamic Revolution, the Leader said that the Islamic Revolution needs protection at different levels in line with the dictates of the time.
The Leader said that the Islamic Revolution has attracted attention worldwide and the revolution in Iran has awakened the nations.
Victory of the Islamic Revolution in Iran astonished the two camps of liberal democracy and marxism, the Leader said adding that now, marxism has faded, but, the camp of liberal democracy has not taken a lesson from the downfall of the former rival camp and thinks that liberal democracy will exert dominance over the globe but to no avail.
The Leader said that the Islamic Revolution proved that liberal democracy will not work in Iran.
"Iranian nation knows well the liberal democracy and experienced the American style human rights in the detention camps of the Pahlavi regime and are well aware of freedom and democracy they experienced under the U.S.-backed corrupt and tyrannical Pahlavi regime," the Leader said.
The Leader said that the victory of the Islamic Revolution shook the political structure of the world because it challenged the concept of liberal democracy and the intellectuals in the West and even in the United States are skeptical of liberal democracy in contrast to those working for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) the state department.
Ayatollah Khamenei said that the political school of the Islamic Revolution opposes despotism under whatever name and arrogance advocates democracy and justice adding that the reason why the nations pay tribute to the late Imam Khomeini is that they found his doctrine as remedy for their sufferings.
The Leader regretted that the big powers are bullying the nations and said that the world nations realized the truth of the message of the Islamic Revolution which is to stand against bullying by arrogant powers. The Leader said that the Iranian youth have set a record of defense during the eight-year imposed war while the enemy enjoyed the full support of the big powers, adding, "No world power can defeat the Iranian nation thanks to the national resolve and the Islamic faith."
Prior to the Leader's remarks, IRGC Commander Brigadier-General Rahim Safavi said that the IRGC is well prepared to safeguard the country, nation and the Islamic Revolution.
