ALWAGHT- Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, Leader of the Islamic Revolution, stated that enemies' attempts to weaken the Iranian nation's resolve and create division through soft threats have been unsuccessful.
Ayatollah Khamenei emphasized that the massive public turnout on February 10th demonstrated the failure of the enemy’s attempts to manipulate public opinion, create division, and instill doubt about the principles of the Islamic Revolution. He highlighted that, despite ongoing efforts to weaken national unity and resolve, the Iranian people have remained steadfast. The Leader pointed to the unparalleled scale of the Revolution’s anniversary celebrations, where ordinary citizens—not just officials or the military—actively participated, showcasing their commitment to the country’s ideals.
He urged those involved in Iran’s media, education, and arts sectors to counter these “software threats” by strengthening national awareness and unity. While acknowledging existing social and economic challenges, he emphasized that these difficulties had not deterred the people from defending the Revolution. Ayatollah Khamenei reassured that Iran's defensive capabilities against external “hardware threats” were strong, ensuring national security and stability despite adversarial pressures.
The Leader also addressed the persistent hostility of global powers toward the Islamic Republic, attributing it to Iran’s resilience in the face of economic sanctions and political pressure. He underscored the Revolution’s lasting impact as an independent force and a source of inspiration for people across the region and beyond. Despite international opposition, Iran has maintained its sovereignty and continues to stand as a symbol of resistance against external domination.
