INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
TEHRAN - Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei says the enemy has relied on soft war to undermine the Islamic
people of Iran are one of the most loyal groups of Iranian people
I am saying this based on the events that have taken place in the country, which I am aware of
In our contemporary history and in the history of the past two or three centuries, there are many stories about the efforts made by
foreigners, in particular by the English, to infiltrate the nomadic people of the country
They have done strange things in this regard
But they failed to draw them toward the direction they wanted
The fact that more than 11,000 nomadic people were martyred is very important in itself
It was not the case that all of our nomadic people resided in border areas and that they were threatened
Some lived in border areas, and thus they were being threatened directly during the Sacred Defense
But some lived in the center of the country without any direct threat
factor caused the nomadic people of our country to stand together to serve Islam and the country despite their differences in tribes and
languages? What was holding them together? It was religion and piety
Religion is an important factor in unity, progress, sacrifice and altruism
The element of religion is what encouraged nomadic people to stand together in various arenas
It prevented tribal and other differences from dividing them and from creating discord among them
achieve victory by benefitting from this factor
After the victory of the Revolution too, he was able to preserve the country with the help of this factor
Had it not been for religion, the Revolution would not have achieved victory
You can be sure about this
No other factor would have been able to bring the youth, who would come to the streets empty-handed and would stand up to bullets and guns,
into that difficult arena
No other factor could have done this
It was religious faith that brought them into the arena
Imam benefitted from this factor to achieve the victory of this Revolution
No, they provoked and enticed him, gave him promises and fulfilled his promises
They gave him money, weapons and war strategies for attacking Iran
Their goal was not for him to come and divide a part of the country
Their goal was to destroy the Islamic Revolution by means of dividing the country and by other means
They wanted to reinstate U.S
domination of the country
They wanted to take the Iranian nation captive, but Imam did not let them
manifestation of religious faith
The 11,000 martyrs that you offered are in fact showing the effects of religious faith
Those young people could have stayed home, lived their lives in their own environment beside their parents, their spouses and their children
and enjoyed the comforts of life as much as was possible, but they did not do that
They abandoned all of that, they left their dear children, dear spouses and loving parents and they departed
Why? What was their motive? Their motive was religion
They were soldiers who returned, became disabled or were martyred
As for their parents, it was also because of religion that they were able to endure this loss and hardship and to calm the burning flames of
The security and protection of the country comes from these sacrifices, martyrdoms, their disabilities and the fighting
There is no doubt that such actions ensure the security of the country, but their main motive was religion and God
Their motive should not be considered to be anything less than religion
They indeed moved and worked for God, and this is what brings the dignity of martyrs
There are some individuals who are not religious
They cannot deny these martyrdoms
Therefore, they try to tamper with the motive of martyrs
The people taking such actions may not realize this themselves, but this is the case, and they have been pulled onto this path
Undermining religion, weakening religious traditions, slogans and principles, questioning these things and portraying them as unreasonable
are weapons that the enemy uses
The individuals who take these actions may not realize it
future and the management of the country
These are things that they are planning for
They think about finding ways to make the people believe that they have no future, that the future is a dead end, and that they are stuck in
They are making plans for this
In the internet and sometimes in our own official media, they promote these ideas so as to cause the people to come to the conclusion that
all paths lead to a dead end, that all paths are wrong and that the officials and managers in the country do not know how to run the
Anyone who causes the people to lose their belief in the actions, efforts and plans of the officials of the country and causes them to
