Leader: Islamic Revolution gave identity, independence to Iran
Press TV - Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei says the Islamic Revolution gave identity and independence to Iranian society by toppling the previous tyrannical regime.

Ayatollah Khamenei made the remarks when addressing a ceremony held to mark the 28th anniversary of the passing of founder of the Islamic Republic, Imam Khomeini.

Stressing the grandeur of Imam Khomeinis personality, the Leader noted that every effort must be made to prevent distortion of Imam Khomeinis personality and ideas through repetition of ideas cherished by him.

If something that is true is not repeated with all details and specifications, it may be gradually distorted. Most of you know that there are motivations for distorting the personality of the Imam and distorting the revolution, which was the greatest feat of the honorable Imam, the Leader added.

The Leader said the secret of the success of Imam Khomeinis movement was that he managed to bring the youth and all people into the arena and to keep them there.



Ayatollah Khamenei noted that Imam Khomeinis ideas, including freedom, social and economic justice, and encouraging the nation to get rid of US domination were among major factors, which attracted the Iranian youth to the revolution.

The Leader stated that as a result of Imams ideas, young people even in those countries that are subservient to the United States, like Saudi Arabia, cherish the idea that their country must be freed from US domination.

Ayatollah Khamenei went on to note that the Islamic Revolution, which was led by Imam Khomeini, was not merely change of government and its goal was not merely to oust one group from power and replace it with another group.

The Leader said previous movements in Iran had failed because they sought to achieve a minimum level of goals, but Imams movement pursued maximum goals and succeeded.

Ayatollah Khamenei further said Iranians experienced a decisive, very important and sensitive era in 1980s, describing the decadeas seeing the most violent terrorism.

During thoseyears, thousands of the Iranian people were martyred by terrorists. The 1980s is the decade of the [Iraqi] imposed war, the Leader stated.

During this decade, the Leader added, the toughest sanctions were imposed on the country in all areas and noted that successive bans were imposed on Irans financialbodies.

Ayatollah Khamenei said the Iranian nation, particularly the youth, managed to resist and achieved victory during this period.

The enemies have so far failed to inflict major blows on Iranians, who have succeeded in making progress and carrying out great tasks, the Leader said.

The Leader stated that Imam Khomeini had described the US as the Great Satan and an unreliable state and added that the heads of European countries currently confess that no one can trust Washington.

This is wisdom. The Americans are unreliable in allissues, Ayatollah Khamenei pointed out.
