TEHRAN (FNA)- The plots hatched by the West, the Israeli regime and their Arab allies against the region have failed due to the influence of the Iranian Supreme Leader's thoughts, on the regional nations, Ayatollah Khamenei's top military aide said Monday.
"The (reason behind the) failure of the western, Arab and Zionist regime's strategies in the current developments in western Asia, specially Syria, Lebanon and Iraq, should be sought in the reflection of the leader's thoughts," senior Military Aide to the Iranian Supreme Leader Major General Yahya Rahim Safavi said, addressing a forum in Tehran on Monday.
Noting that the defensive guidelines and measures of Ayatollah Khamenei which have empowered Iran in the region can be considered as international defensive strategies to defend the Islamic Ummah in the world, he said, "Iran's power guarantees the Persian Gulf's security and plays an influential role in the establishment of global security."
He stressed that Iran seeks establishment of justice-based peace in the world, and said, "The powerful Islamic Iran and its defensive power are at the service of defending the Islamic Ummah and the Muslim territories and Iran's defensive power relies on the Iranian nation's will and our country's geopolitical situation."
In relevant remarks in July, Vice-Speaker of the Iranian Parliament Mohammad Hassan Aboutorabi-Fard said in a meeting with envoys of the Muslim countries in Tehran that "the Islamic Republic of Iran's defensive power belongs to all Muslim nations".
